About This Track

'Guide light' by Wisp is a 2025 track from the album 'If Not Winter'. The lyrics circle a tense, inward question of whether someone can be reached as time runs short, with images of waiting, being unable to cope, and pleading for warmth. There is a repeated focus on guidance at the point of collapse, sharpening the fear of going under and the hope of being seen, summed up in the line, “Who will guide me”. The vocal stance comes across as urgent and exposed, turning personal pain into a direct request for direction and care.

"Guide light" is a track by Wisp, from the album If Not Winter, released 31st July 2025. The track is 3:48 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Wisp.

Lyrics

Guide light

Will I fall behind?
Waiting out for you
Running out of time
With no one to turn to

If you could see
Through pain of my own eyes
So find the warmth in me
And shelter my lost mind

Who will guide me
When I can't do this anymore?
(When I can't do this, will you?)
Tell me something
Is your love enough to live for?

This part of me
No one needs to know
Choose the worst in me
And alter my own soul

Who will guide me
When I can't do this anymore?
(When I can't do this, will you?)
Tell me something
Is your love enough to live for?

Will I have enough?
Just me at the end
The ghost of myself
All my love was made to end
