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 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. =)

[@acerbicTeatime]

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!

[@NiennaFan1]

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)

[@shellygomez2723]

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

[@Raven-wh2it]

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.

[@Sporbb]

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.

[@iceluvndiva21]

Clever

[@MadamMelonMeow]

i still hold this as a scourge sister song within my heart :p

[@sab1229]

this album is so fucking good

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+ilesonce sb thankyou m8

[@skywolf25]

Belltower reminds me of L and this song of Light, maybe more so because of the titles? Anyway I love it!

[@joanna5582]

Omg ur right

[@amberthurlkill9700]

This song is one of my favorites. Your voice is amazing.

[@brunohenrique9174]

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!

[@melissagnehm9376]

You should' listen to hey Alice

[@pumpkinpatch7841]

@@melissagnehm9376 why?

[@SerpensOculus]

my depression and sanity sing this to each other. It loud and annoying. Butt I still love the song

[@HuntressOfTheSea]

The lyrics for this song so perfectly fit the character of Nix from my Nightvale series its almost spooky. But it does wonders for getting me pumped to write!

[@fantasy-world430]

I immediately thought of Death Note with this song XD

[@MadamMelonMeow]

i love this song so much

[@Metal_Bending_Dictator]

how do you make theses beautiful songs rachel rose mitchell?!?!?!!!

[@acertainanimetheorymakingg3875]

0_0 Wow, this one was pretty powerful.

[@acertainanimetheorymakingg3875]

***** You're welcome. ^_^

[@jilliannearnold7141]

I always think of Loki when I hear this song :p

[@ErinTheCursed]

This is sort of perfect for the Undertake genocide run.

[@ErinTheCursed]

+ErinTheCursed *undertale. Goddamn autocorrect.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Omg I think you're onto something here, that could work

[@damnthatscrazy4426]

...*dies*

[@nightshadeLG63]

heh...This is exactly what I used it for....That and the fact that its also a part rock song with cool lyrics and a tune.

[@fangirlcupcake4199]

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

[@gamercat491]

Прекрасно! Amasing!

[@mariogol1489]

RAINBOW 🌈🩸🏥❣💉

[@pumpkinfurmcweirdo9628]

It's cool !

[@aliciagregory9751]

This song reminds me too much about myself.

[@theantianthony]

PrInCeSs AzUlA

[@MadamMelonMeow]

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

[@somethingsomething2517]

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. :)

[@pumpkinfurmcweirdo9628]

Kyle Rabin Yeah I want to know too. x3

[@MadamMelonMeow]

+Kyle Rabin same!

[@clarasnow6579]

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]

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.

[@pathays3963]

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.

[@varianmidoriya1194]

Is this a Death Note fandom thing? I can imagine either Sayu or Misa singing this

[@leslieferrell5303]

my cat loves this music

[@bourbonfan1]

cats hate counterweights

[@NoxiousMelody]

may i use a song for yours for an animation? :)

[@gratitudegaming4992]

Tony. Stark.

[@athenalynn8105]

yup but also thor if you think about it

[@bethanyjackson2719]

Oh damn. You're right!

[@BingoIndigo]

Why does that fit so well

[@REgamesplayer]

Is there any context for this song?

[@fourth_wall_broken3550]

Any danganronpa fans out here? If so, Ouma Kokichi

[@iceluvndiva21]

Justice League Injustice anyone?

[@williamt2513]

Bakugo? lol

[@sunsetluna9259]

Am I the only one who thought that when she started singing she sounded like Rarity from mlp? Nope just me TwT

[@ShootingStarNeo]

This is a Homestuck thing isn't it. Don't lie to me, I can always tell.
