    LYRICS:
    I used to understand you.
    No, that's misleading, I still do.
    You've always been so proud of
    this hurricane that follows you.
    You're demanding, outstanding,
    you're high above the rest
    and you love to let everybody know.
    And you're the Queen Bee and we'll see
    you're nothing but the best
    and you never let it go.
    It's never been in question
    whether you have got direction,
    but you need to stay grounded.
    It's for everyone's protection.
    You're laughing at this dance,
    but you don't understand the circumstance.
    I'm running out of reasons
    to give you another chance
    so light up.
    It's all about the pretense.
    It's all about the imaginary.
    It's all about the showmanship,
    so when you lose out you walk free.
    You're drowning in the ocean!
    You won't let anybody hear you shout.
    You know that if they heard you,
    they might just try to help you out.
    And you're outstanding, demanding
    that everybody sees
    you're the greatest liar
    still at large.
    And you're destructive, conductive
    to electricity
    and you
    CHARGE.
    It's never been in question
    whether you have got direction,
    but you need to stay grounded.
    It's for everyone's protection.
    You're laughing at this dance,
    but you don't understand the circumstance.
    I'm running out of reasons
    to give you another chance
    so
    Light up your darkened thoughts now.
    Look back upon all you've wrought now.
    Light up your darkened dreaming.
    Ignore the ghosts. Ignore their screaming.
    Light up your poisonous plans.
    Your fate is out of your hands.
    Yesterday won't come back to you
    so try to think things through.
    It's never been in question
    whether you have got direction,
    but you need to stay grounded.
    It's for everyone's protection.
    You're laughing at this dance,
    but you don't understand the circumstance.
    I'm running out of reasons
    to give you another chance.
    It's never been in question
    whether you have got direction,
    but you need to stay grounded.
    It's for everyone's protection.
    You're laughing at this dance,
    but you don't understand the circumstance.
    I'm running out of reasons
    to give you another chance
    so
    Light up your darkened thoughts now.
    Look back upon all you've wrought now.
    Light up your darkened dreaming.
    Ignore the ghosts. Ignore their screaming.
    Light up your poisonous plans.
    Your fate is out of your hands.
    Yesterday won't come back to you
    so try to think things through
    and light up

    I got the Vriska Terezi feeling from this too!
    But I can also see it as a bunch of people I know personally...
    Both are reasons why I enjoy blasting this at full volume!

      That's why it's in my recommended because I've played Undertale (even though I've never read Homestuck, that's close enough I guess)

    I just noticed that this song describes one of my DnD characters amazingly well! Into the character themes folder you go, Light Up. Into the folder you go. =)

    I wish more people new about you.
    You deserve more credit than you get.
    P.S this song is amazing! Great work. It sounds like something that someone would say to me.

    Does anyone else find it ironic that the song "Light Up" is in the album "Shadow Puppets"? And damn, this song is my new fave!

    • @iceluvndiva21

      I always understood it as symbolic of how we want that little bit of light that would give up despite the crushing darkness and the shadows that follow us

    It's impressive how much electricity related language there is in this song. Grounded, charge, conductive, light up, direction, imaginary... Okay, maybe I'm really reaching with the last two.

    Well, if you are wrong in what I will say next, I apologize, I am only an admirer, a Brazilian fan who used a translator to write this review. Because? BECAUSE RACHEL IS PERFECT !!!!!
    Besides singing well and be a mix of Indie Pop with Rock, she's a great songwriter, we can see how Light Up and Hey Alice, which are my favorite.
    I believe A PRODUCER will discover it until 2017, and it will be a success in the music world with its unique and innovative style that makes you dance like an oddly CRAZY !!
    RACHEL IS LOVE AND PEACE! DEUS JESUS E ESPIRÍTO SANTO!

    is this song inspired by Terezi's choice with Vriska, or somthing entirely different?

    I can definitely see this as a death note song it fits almost too accurate it also works for Chara but I like the death note one better BC of the title

    I have to ask this agin, what inspired the lyrics to this song, I know it is often personal but The lyrics to this song are intriguing to say the least. :)

    If I'm interpreting this right, shes talking to a narcissist who has been wreaking havoc on her life. It reminds me of a situation in my own life...hauntingly beautiful song.

    I found you a year or two ago. I can always come back to your music whenever I need inspiration for something. Question, how many other people help you on this? I know you sing and write, but you don't play all the instruments do you?

    • @RachelRoseMitchell
      @RachelRoseMitchell  7 років тому +1

      Thanks Gwen!
      It's actually all me :) The instruments are all synthesised, but I'll take it as a compliment that you thought I might be getting people in to play them. I play in the notes I want using a MIDI keyboard.
