Hypoxia Lyrics

Can't breath, Can't talk
Can't make sense at all
You twitch, I watch
The barriers fall
Breath my name in contempt
hold my eyes in your hands
Frozen as you cry the words
I swore I never hear you talk
Smile again, it never mends
reach out to those
who never ever cared
reach out to those who run scared
a lack of oxygen, break or bend
weakened from the trends that
rape and burn the world
Burn the world, burn the world

Breathing, can't see at all
Cheating, the reason that we fall
Lying, I didn't hear the call
Crying, The death of us all
Breathing, can't see at all
Lying, I didn't hear the call
Cheating, the reason that we fall
Crying, the death of us all
Breathe my name in contempt
hold my eyes in your hands
Frozen as you cry the words
I swore I never ever hear you talk
Can't breath, Can't talk
Can't make sense at all
Can't breath, Can't talk
Can't make sense at all

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.

My favourite VAC song of them all, next to Velvet Pill and Pretty Toy.

VAC have descriptions for all their songs on their song. But before I read that I pretty much assumed it was a song about the anxiety and panic one would have being abandoned by their friends and loved-ones in their time of need. Hypoxia being both literal and a metaphor for the lack of breath and symptoms of that abandonment.
