Bleeding Generation Lyrics

were all burning alive (burning alive). no one is special anymore (no one). your education assembly line (descending). cap and gown, i hope you're happy. this is not being alive, this is not life. i dare you to open your eyes. place one finger to my bottomless negativity, it only gets worse from here, it only gets worse. not a single one of you realizes you are bleeding to death, this is your utopia: a culture geared for perpetual meaningless. we offer ignorance and feeble mindedness, to idols made of stone and proclaim: "we are an entire generation of injured children". screaming in a whisper "someone save us from ourselves." slit wrists. realize you are bleeding to death. realize you are bleeding.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Our generation is blind and ignorant. I agree with this, only i believe all of humanity is ignorant. I love this band. Theyre local but i havent managed to see them live yet.

this is about our culture's and our generation's values being meaningless. we are slowing dying spiritually and we need a wakeup call.
