SEION - A Light I Never Had

A LIGHT I NEVER HAD is an emotional futurepop / EBM song about loneliness, depression, and longing for a past that may never have existed. It follows Seion in a moment of quiet hopelessness, searching for something real in a world that feels distant and unreachable. But when someone finally appears, the darkness does not disappear completely — it softens. A faint light enters the room. The night is still there, but it does not feel so endless anymore. [Intro] Sometimes I wake in a room I do not know With a memory of sunlight from somewhere I never go [Verse 1] I keep a picture in my head of a place that never stayed A little house, a quiet street, a sky that never turned gray I miss the sound of summer rain, though I was never there I miss a voice that called my name from the bottom of the stairs I built a past from borrowed dreams and faces in the glass I held them close until they broke like everything I have [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know where to run when the night is all I see I don’t know how to want what was never meant for me But then I hear you through the dark Like a signal, like a spark [Chorus] You came into my world like a light I never had Like a signal through the silence, calling me back I was lost in the dark, I was fading alone Now your voice in the distance feels like home You came into my world like a light I never had And the night is still here, but it doesn’t feel so bad [Verse 2] I walk through streets inside my mind where nobody knows my face Every window shines with lives I never got to taste I miss the person I could be in a softer kind of time I miss the warmth of something real that was probably never mine There is a sadness without name, a ghost without a door A homesick ache for somewhere else I have not lived before [Pre-Chorus 2] And I don’t know how to heal when the wound is made of air I don’t know how to feel like the world would ever care But then you find me where I hide And for a moment I feel alive [Chorus] You came into my world like a light I never had Like a signal through the silence, calling me back I was lost in the dark, I was fading alone Now your voice in the distance feels like home You came into my world like a light I never had And the night is still here, but it doesn’t feel so bad [Bridge] Maybe hope is not a sunrise Maybe hope is just your hand Maybe happiness is smaller Than the dreams I thought I planned Maybe I don’t need a heaven Maybe I don’t need the past Maybe all I ever needed Was a light that chose to last [Build] I was reaching for a memory that never knew my name I was mourning for a life that never came But you are here and I can breathe There is still a world in front of me [Final Chorus] You came into my world like a light I never had Like a signal through the silence, calling me back I was lost in the dark, I was fading alone Now your voice in the distance feels like home You came into my world like a light I never had And the night is still here, but it doesn’t feel so bad [Final Hook] Like a light I never had Like a signal through the silence Like a reason to come back Like a light I never had [Outro] Sometimes I wake and the room is still the same But there is light across the window when I hear you say my name
