Woke up in a world that feels too loud
Tryna find some quiet in the crowd
Heart’s been aching, kind of slow
But I’m still dancing, even so
And I don’t need a thousand voices
Just one that tells me, “Keep on going”
Light me up slowly, I don’t need to burn
Just a little glow, so I can learn
To trust the dark, to breathe again
To fall apart, and still ascend
You don’t have to shout to save me now
Just light me up slowly
I’ve been folding paper hopes in vain
Wishing on the cracks in windowpanes
But I feel the shift inside my chest
Like maybe this fall is just a rest
And I don’t need to win the race
Just someone who’ll walk at my pace
Light me up slowly, I don’t need to shine
Like fireworks or neon signs
Just hold the spark, and stay awhile
I’ll get there, maybe not in style
You don’t have to fix what you can’t see
Just light me up slowly
I used to think strength meant never breaking
But now I know there’s peace in shaking
Even stars don’t always glow
But they’re still there, you know
Light me up slowly, let it be soft
No need to carry what I’ve lost
One small flame is all I need
To find my way, to just believe
You don’t have to shout to save me now
Just light me up slowly

Light Me Up Slowly
G500
"Light Me Up Slowly# is a cinematic blend of gothic rock, alternative metal, and electronica - wrapped in a modern pop-rock shell with a hauntingly delicate female vocal.
This track paints an emotional portrait of quiet transformation. Over a backdrop of distorted guitars, deep synths, and ethereal textures, the song captures a unique balance: dark yet tender, heavy yet emotionally light. It speaks to that quiet moment before change - the soft ignition of something powerful within.
With lyrics that suggest rebirth, longing, and inner strength, the sound design echoes a futuristic city soaked in neon rain, where isolation and hope coexist. The voice - soft, pure, and slightly broken - feels both otherworldly and intimate, guiding the listener through a world that's as nostalgic as it is forward-looking.
Think post-grunge atmosphere meets electronic melancholy, where shoegaze meets cyberpunk. If you love music that resonates emotionally and sonically, this is for you.
