It Was As If The Dead Man Stood Upon The Air Lyrics

rewind the cycle
my regret is this world i created
my regret is this kiss that sealed my fate
rewind, rewind it all again
rewind the silver that was my price
i think i will take a walk and rest my soul
a cylindrical neck resting in the arms of a circular rope
rewind this cycle endless cycle

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.

It is so blatantly obvious that this song is about Juda's betrayal of our Lord Jesus. Juda's kissed Jesus to betray Him. He was paid 30 silver coins from the sanhedrin to do so. Juda's kills himself by hanging on a tree in a field that is now called the Field Of Blood. The cycle is endless, because there is nothing else that he can do. What would you do if you decieved the Creator of the world???

i think that the obvious part here is undoubtebly talking about the story w know of Judas betraying Jesus and then his subsequent suicide... but i think the deeper message, the true meaning behind the phrase "endless cycle" is the fact that WE are all Judas... because everyday we fall back into the "endless cycle" of sin, i.e. the betrayal of Jesus... we betray his love and mercy and grace by being selfish and choosing things other than him... the song speaks of the seemingly hopeless cycle we always rewind...
