I Die Slowly Lyrics

The tower Ive been
A brick I am
A statue so grand
I feed your sun
But I never thought
That I would be burned like this

Your rays of evil licking my skin
So hear my prayer now
Teach me to win
Or I'll be gone

Blinded by false innocence
Steal my wings
And I die slowly
Cracked smile, deceivable eyes
I'm burned by the wind
And I die slowly

These days I'm dirt
Bring the rain
Because I am the desert
I feed your sun but I never thought
I'll be burned like this

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 think it's about someone having everyone thing going for them "The tower Ive been", but then they see they are wrong, and that they are failing "But I never thought "That I would be burned like this" Then they ask for help, because they feel hopeless "So hear my prayer now,Teach me to win, Or I'll be gone"
