Letra:

I roll away just like a stone
Falling around wherever I'm thrown
I got lost, got sidetracked
I played dead and I couldn't go back
You asked me how does it feels
Everything hurts, everything's too real
I tried to be part of the scheme
But I can't understand, what does it really mean?

And with pride you point blame
But you never felt love, like you never felt pain
You give me that sad smile
And I want to drown it, want it gone for a while

I roll away, away from it all
I follow the lights, I follow the call
I fall down into the sound of the music

Tonight I feel it closer
And i can almost touch it
To you this may be nothing, It's something to me
This raging light

"You're on your own" said the voice on the phone
In between all the static and the robotic tone
Strong headlights were pointing to my eyes
Behind a killer car, inside a killer heart
"You be strong" said the voice on the phone
In between all the lies and the robotic tone
I fall down and into the sound
Where the music goes

Tonight I feel it closer
And I can almost touch it
To you this may be nothing, It's something to me
This raging light

To you this may be nothing, It's something to me
This raging light

I roll away just like a stone
Falling around wherever I'm thrown
And with pride you point me the blame
Like you never felt love, like you never felt pain
I played me but you played a part
And you lost the script, you just found it too hard
I fall down into the sound of the music
This music

A minha escolha baseou-se não só na mensagem da letra, como também no ritmo e na energia que ela transmite. This Raging Light transmite logo pelo título uma ideia de algo simultaneamente frenético e luminoso, o que é possível perceber depois com a letra e com a própria música.
A energia da música levou-me, quase automaticamente, a adoptá-la como base deste trabalho.
