Dead Lyrics

I was..
not worth knowing
visible awful but not seen
alone always forever - beauty opposite
transparent hear me - listen - right here

I was..
right there kept walking awful unnoticed
beauty opposite - alone
island stay off
wait.. someone

sink alone not seen
it was time - end
it was time - end

I was..
visible awful but not seen
alone always forever - beauty opposite
transparent see me - right here

I was..
right there kept walking awful unnoticed
beauty opposite deserted - alone
island stay off
no.. someone wait

sink alone not seen
it was time - end
it was time - end

could have stopped it

Dead.

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.

At first glance it may sound like it's talking about a ghost, but I think it's using a ghost as a metaphor for someone who was forgotten completely - nobody knows him and never will. He's like a ghost.

The idea of clinical depression; so isolated and antisocial that you've become metaphorically invisible, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
