Dead Like Me Lyrics

Just a paper cut to spill your blood
I hear screams come out the window
Maybe next time your caress won't feel like rusted nails
I am the son of rejection, so hold me to the light
Tell me it's right to feel dead inside
I won't break
Not today
Dead like me
Because beneath this stare is a desperate fight to stay alive
Tell me I'm not alone
Whisper that breath that fuels this fight
From now on, this is my life
Discontent for the rest of mankind
I'll always remember the way that touch felt and how I was so close
Four seconds away from death
Three seconds away from you
Two seconds away from death
One second away from you
I won't break, not today
Dead like me
Bring it
I look back on a broken mess
Pictures shattered with shards of glass
This is what my life means to me

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 this is a tough guy song. Which means he feels strong about himself.

Definetly. Close yet so far. But that shouldn't keep us down. What does not kills us makes us stronger.
