Death Of A Loved One Lyrics

I am lonely
Burn slowly by choice
Plane crash kills you
Burn slowly to ashes

Collective praying
For loved ones who've fallen
Correcting mistakes
Bad choice, bad choice

I will be here
When trouble comes

I will be here
When trouble comes
No need to fear
Left with no one

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.

Also after this song on 17:00 "I am ill", one of the simplest tracks on the album, also one of the most hauntingly beautiful. Written when he was 16! This guy's a prodigy. Lyrics roughly as follows:

I am ill, I am deathly ill and well I am sick again, I am ill, I am sick of being ill.

Up, up, up, Don't give up; Make this stop.

I am ill, I am deathly ill and well I am sick again, I am ill, I am sick of being ill.

Up, up, up, I give up; Make it stop.

Call up the hospital make me a bed, Reception staff say I'm better of dead. Movement suggests that I am still alive: With my head in my hands I've lost my taste for life.

Ooh ooh oooh oh ah.
