Blue Light Lyrics

[Intro]
Falling, falling
Falling, falling

[Verse 1]
Although I've hardened
Darling, my guard is down
When I know you're around
Only one that fit the crown


[Pre-Chorus 1]
When I need love I run to you
You're the only one I want, want you now
Silly shit we go through
I cop my keys and I'm out

[Chorus]
I'm on my way right now
Promise I won't be long
Baby, keep the blue light on
My chains, they come falling down, down
My chains, they come falling down
My chains, they come falling


[Verse 2]
I'm begging your pardon
Told myself I needed time
But my discipline is slipping
Head first
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause, baby, with your love around
I could save the world

For better now
I want you where you are right now

[Chorus]
I'm on my way right now
Promise I won't be long
Baby, keep the blue light on
Chains, they come falling down

[Chorus]
I'm on my way right now
Promise I won't be long
Baby, keep the blue light on
My chains, they come falling down
My chains, they come falling down
My chains, they come falling
My chains, they come falling down
It's all falling down
My chains, they come falling down

[Interlude]
Gold in the offering
Darling, my guard is down

When I know you're around
Only one that fit the...
[Outro]
No, no, no, no (Falling)
No, no, no, no (Falling)
No, no, no, no (Falling)
No, no, no, no (Falling)
No, no, no, no (Falling)
No, no, no, no (Falling)
No, no, no, no (Falling)
No, no, no, no

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Blue Light” is the tenth track from Kelela’s debut album Take Me Apart. It is the second single for the album and was one of the earliest tracks earmarked for the project. It deals with the shift from cautiously takings things slow, to finally letting your guard down and diving headfirst into a new relationship.

I wanted to talk about the moment when you abandon this (cautious) feeling. I feel like it’s a real experience that’s quite pervasive. Like: “you know what? F*ck it! I’m on my way”.
