Lantern In The Night - Rachel Rose Mitchell

LANTERN IN THE NIGHT by RACHEL ROSE MITCHELL, symphonic rock song from the album HEART OF MINE.
Like Thorns, which is also on Heart of Mine, Lantern In The Night is a song about moving on from being beaten down, about getting on with your life and realising that you're more than the terrible things people have said to you.

LANTERN IN THE NIGHT LYRICS:
I saw the end.
I saw the ending at the start.
Though I never said a word aloud,
I knew it in my heart.
All I ever wanted
was to make the smiles real.
I felt that was worth the hurt
and time it took to heal.
Though I knew I never could,
I swore I’d make it through.
If you repeat ideas enough,
it doesn’t make them true.
I tried
to force my circles into squares
and I denied
that what I wanted wasn’t there.
I looked for light
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon.
But still, in spite of you
I shine
Like a lantern in the night.
Nowhere to hide.
You’ve never seen me shine so bright
as I do tonight.
You clipped my wings and cut my claws.
I let it happen then.
I didn’t know what I was missing
until they grew again.
So though it hurt, and oh it hurt,
I tore myself away.
Sometimes you've gotta bleed before you heal enough
to keep the dark at bay.
I could see so well in the night
that I felt blinded by the sun.
But easy doesn’t make it right.
Sometimes it’s better just to run.
I tried
to force my circles into squares
and I denied
that what I wanted wasn’t there.
I looked for light
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon.
But still, in spite of you
I shine
Like a lantern in the night.
Nowhere to hide.
You’ve never seen me shine so bright
as I do tonight.
I’m free. I fly. I live. I shine.
I tried
to force my circles into squares
and I denied
that what I wanted wasn’t there.
I looked for light
In corners darker than the dark side of the moon.
But still, in spite of you
I shine.

Your lyrics make me write lyrics. And after many years, I'm finally going to release them and unleash what's inside. Thank you for your beautiful mind and the courage to be.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Thank you so much, Lisa! I'm so happy to hear it. Never be afraid to express what's inside :D

[@meghabasu248]

These lyrics are some of the most beautiful and heartfelt words I've ever heard. Why is this not more popular?

[@tikisix9873]

I remember when I first heard of you and your music. It was when I found the KZbin video for your old album "Where's your Wonderland" and I loved it right away. After I downloaded that album I would listen to it (and sing along) all the time: on the bus, at my old high school (I graduated about a year ago), at home and even at night when I went to sleep! For the past few years your songs have helped me to get through all the ups and downs of my life and I know they will continue to do so. I was so happy when I discovered your newer songs here on KZbin! You are amazing, don't ever let anyone cause you to think otherwise.

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Thank you so much

[@nightshadeLG63]

hehehe. IM FINALLY NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO USES SONGS LIKE THAT TO HELP ME SLEEP! YEEEESSSSS!!!!

[@Manas-co8wl]

This pairs up well with Glow In The Dark

[@danterose7923]

true

[@blacklion8307]

For every kind of feeling down I ever experienced, I always know I can find a song of yours that cheers me up just the right way. Thank you.

[@lukerumfelt5009]

After listening to several examples of this lady's music I wonder if she is writing about things in her past. And if so, how fucking horrible is that? The pain, the hope, the pure intensity of the life of this individual shines through her music in a manner I have seldom felt or heard. Well played...Well Lived!

[@psychoticcyndilou6400]

This was based on personal experiences. If you look up her website, you can see the past on so many of her songs. She'll explain most of them.

[@doodle5092]

This has got to be my favorite of your songs, but Falling Like the Sky is a close second! They're all amazing, especially with the deep meaning in each one!

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Aw, thank you!!

[@cinnamonflower6449]

I think without that song in the right moment last night I would have jumped from my balcon... so thank u for kinda save my live, I guess...

[@XDoFairiesHaveTailsX]

This reminds me of A court of thorns and roses by Sarah J. Maas

[@thedatabase677]

Amazing as always! Gave me shivers!

[@loreleifae4730]

While they are all amazing this is probably my favorite song from this album. Your voice just sounds so passionate and powerful, but still sort of mysteriously beautiful. Keep being awesome!

[@Raven-wh2it]

This is a really good song. (great job with the video by the way)

[@aaronrawlings5310]

I don't know if you going to read this but wow this music is a beautiful piece of work :) And this is coming from someone who lives in the UK and is very picky about music. Well done keep up the great work :D

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

Thank you Aaron! I do try to read every single comment I get, it means a lot to me that people would take time out of their day to say anything about my music :)

[@graceluckman8161]

[@billcipher387]

[@juliehart3836]

Was a clip of your song on Amberlynn Reid's blog! What a great find! ⭐️

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

I haven't heard of that, can you drop me a link? Thanks :)

[@juliehart3836]

Rachel Rose Mitchell 🌹, Recently I watched many of her You Tube Vlogs. After I watched, the lyrics of the brief clip we're in my head so I looked up your awesome haunting song! 🎶 Wish I could be of more help - she was riding in a car at night in the fall - not sure if '16 or '17!

[@mery9868]

you're perfect

[@thematrixfox]

How am i just finding you???

[@montsemontsemontse]

This song reminds me of Blight Dream The RPG Horror game which really isn't scary

[@iceluvndiva21]

But easy doesn't make it right

[@tricia_music]

Do you make these songs then sing?

[@RachelRoseMitchell]

+Fung Tricia Yes I do ☺
