Degenerate Lyrics

All this time I wondered why
and when did it go away.
Everything I told you then
turned out into an empty space...
All my dreams, I watched them
slip away from me in a haze.
You will cover all my shame
and trust with a sea of hate...
You let me down...
Mercy is a concept that my
soul will not accept...
All the fury of a thousand
wounds I will not regret.
All I know is all I feel, and now I
can't seem to find, a pile of
words, and all the broken glory
of a bloody crime...
You let me down...
Trust is soulless as the ends of
days that I used to see,
like a picture in a book I've
read but don't dare to look.
Degenerated by a thousand words
that you used to say,
can't believe that in my mind I
wanted you to stay...
You let me down...
You let me down...
You let me down...

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.
