Illuminate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Would you die for a taste
Of a heart that maybe matters
And design all your fate
Without fear of what you're after
Somewhere you keep all your halos
Scared of what they don't know
Open up your window shades

[Pre-Chorus]
And illuminate
Illuminate
Let nothing in your way
Illuminate
Go on and shine on (Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Go on and shine on (Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Go on and shine on (Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Go on and shine on (Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Go

[Instrumental Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Is your sanity poor?
Cause you're starving for a reason
Make your sickness your cure
You invent what you believe in
Somewhere you keep all your halos
Scared of what they don't know
Open up your window shades
[Pre-Chorus]
And illuminate
Illuminate
Let nothing in your way
Illuminate
Go on and shine on

[Instrumental Chorus]
Go on and shine on
Go (Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
And Illuminate
Illuminate
Let nothing in your way
Illuminate
Go on and shine on

[Instrumental Chorus]
Go on and shine on
Go on and shine on (Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Go on and shine on (Oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Go

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 [?]

What did AFROJACK say about "Illuminate"?
Genius Answer

In a conversation with Dancing Astronaut, Afrojack has said:

The cool thing about ILLUMINATE, Matthew wrote a great song, and I did it on purpose where there’s a little line in the beginning, but then the drop is the big EDM explosion. I still think that even though it’s another main stream track it still represents my sound — and it’s one of my favorites.
