Going Down Lyrics

sifting through apocalypse all i want's to catch a glimpse just another broken day my whole world's gone away i feel the ceilings coming down i atch the deadmen run around trying hard to chnage the course 'cuase they know what's best for us your whole world's coming down close to the bottom-close to the sound your whole world's let me down drag me down to the under ground sifting through apocalypse already new it would come to this just another game to play how mnay ways have i got to play hear them running faster now they wear the hoove's of satan's crowd you came to visit for just one day but now that you're here- you're here to stay

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.
