Decay Lyrics

it's too late now to start the fight
it's too late now to get out of sight
it's too late now to try and run away
it's too late now all our lives are decay
we sit alone
watch the world explode
watch everything unfold to dust
now in the light of misfortune
now we take our feelings back
and hide the whole away
to show decay of stability
you will all just die in detest
we won't feel a thing
now we all flip into infinity
we live our lives
we feel so cold inside and desolate for now
are we just misfortune
a sickness disease
a life of cancer or just hiv
your life is fading away
your time is slipping away
the force of life is draining away
welcome to the night
where you will die
forever in this hell
you created for yourself
forever and ever repeating the doom of nothing but a slave

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.

misanthropic veiw on the future of our world and the problems we've created. when the real turning point hits and people cant turn away from the "decaying world" we wont be able to change anything and life is already at that point in the eyes of VAC. People go on mindlessly not seeing the destruction and ignorance they embrace and spread.
