Closed Caskets Lyrics

Parade in bright lights
I wish you were holding my breath
Tonite is perfect for bloodletting
But I'm alone again
It looks like christmas time
Bite my lip and tears fill my
I'll carry on, I'm better off living without you
No one to pull me under, this time I'm pulling through
I feel like falling apart on the most beautiful day I've ever known
But I know it has to end
No one to pull me under, this time I'm pulling through
Everything beautiful dies
So I kiss it goodbye
So I kiss it goodbye again
Sever my life from yours
The parade comes to town
Everybody gather around
I love the way you smile in the nite.

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.

IMHO, I think the song is about a guy who has just killed his 'favourite' prostitute, and is dragging her corpse around the red light district. The power-violence influencing of RN is getting in my brain, lol

"I love the way you smile" it gives me chills the first time he says it.

Also I don't think RN really writes their songs completely about murder. Theres always a great deal of like emotion behind it, not just murder aspect. I think this song is about moving on, ending a relationship or something. "Close Caskets" the name says it all.

well, on this record they're not supposed to be singing about killing ex bitches anymore. in fact, he wrote "she looks so good in red" off as a "a joke"
