Eternal Lyrics

Face the day embrace the pain
Wage my war internal
Save my soul eternal

Reach out for redemption it bites the hand that needs
Neglect becomes rejection the silence sounds retreat

I can't believe
It's the last time
Anything you say

Chained to the past ride the wings of despair
Corroded and rusted trust beyond repair
In this triumph of the wills I won't be overrun
The pride that is instilled cannot be overcome

I can't believe
It's the last time
Anything you say
It's the last time that I'll try today

I can't believe
It's the last time
Anything you say
That I'll fall down
It's the last time
It's the last time
That I'll try today
Break it all 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.

I can't believe that no one has commented on this song yet!!

This song is amazing, in its instrumentation and its lyrics.

The way I see it, J Mann's parts are the conscious thoughts, while Jeffrey Nothing's parts are the subconscious/inner thoughts. J Mann is being defiant in his fight/struggle with his past. Jeffrey represents J's past and is in disbelief of J's determination to "wage [his] war internal" and "save [his] soul eternal"

Its not just that, its more like a request for someone to save him from this dreamworld of make-believe, both wanting to escape and find the real world, one full of benefit towards both of them. Jmann wants to physically esacpe, while Nothing is basically telling the conformists to "Fuck off" and let him escape, saying that he won't believe them anymore, since they had lied to him in the first place.
