(Can't) Turn Away from Dying Lyrics

Speak Not
Blind Eye
No Will
No Mind
In Time
Somehow
Someway
You’ll Find

I never thought you could sink so low
A slave to the dying

Turn Away
Turn Away

Breath
Below
Frozen and cold

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.

How many of us have had brothers. close friends from childhood sink below the expectations we have set for them. their parents and families have set for them. that they have set for themselves. Becoming shells of what they once were. Addicted and crawling on the rock-bottom. Terrified of not what is in their future but what will happen if they stop and experience withdrawl. Heart-breaking experience fuel every word behind the words in this song. Dissapointment leads to anger which inevitabley leads to sorrow.
