Shutdown Lyrics

shutdown
barely holding together
restless
my insides are boiling
i know lately
i cannot feel me
so am i the sick or is it you
outside
i'm smiling but
inside
i'm frowning
this fires is burning me through
i know lately
i cannot feel me
i've become the numb because of you
there's reasons
i know you won't
you've come to see me
shutdown
burnout
i know it was you
who sold the idea of love
like a cheap whore in the night
when i need you
i was naked and cold
you were the one to shut me out
because
there's reasons
i know you won't
you've come to see me
shutdown
burnout
i know it was you
the queen of fear
it will always be here
as long as we're living this way
i know
it doesn't matter
i know
it didn't matter
i know
it doesn't matter to you
because
there's reasons
i know you won't
you've come to see me
shutdown
burn out
i know it was you

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.
