Ashes Lyrics

there's a blood stain on the floor by the door where your whole world fell and died. there's a silent chair in the corner of the room where you sat alone and cried. well she got something to say to you, but the words never mean a thing, so she took that needle to her pain and set herself free. burn! burn it to the ground. when times got tough you got a little tougher then you slowly fell behind. running to catch the things you could not see, running to catch what you could not find. well i never wanted to need you, now it's time for you to see, this forgotten pain that you tried to hide, buried in your apathy. burn! burn all to the ground...

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.

This is one of my favorite Strung Out songs. "But the words never mean a thing, so she took that needle to her pain and set herself free."

Craziness.

Seems to be about a depressed, suicidal, addict who's burning their life away.
