Illuminated
● Hurts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So do you want to waste some time,
Oh, oh tonight?
Don't be afraid of tomorrow,
Just take my hand, I'll make it feel so much better tonight.
Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus, oh.
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding.
Swing me these sorrows
And try delusion for a while.
It's such a beautiful lie.
You've got to lose inhibition,
Romance your ego for a while.
Come on, give it a try.
Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus, oh.
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding.
We are, we are, blinded,
We are, we are, blinded.
We are, we are, blinded.
Suddenly my eyes are open,
Everything comes into focus, oh,
We are all illuminated,
Lights are shining on our faces, blinding
We are, we are, blinded,
We are, we are, blinded.
