Id Lyrics

I watched you slip.
I watched you fall.
(X2)

I watched you slip
right through my hands.
Even though I've tried
to put things right.
You didn't even fu**ing try.
Did you even care at all?

Reflections tell the truth.
Your eyes hold no lies.
Buried emotions screaming out.
Let go of chains that bind.
Trapped in your own prison.
The walls you've built
have shut you out...
Drag you down,
Strips you away,
Bit by bit,
all that was you....

Self righteous now.
Self righteous now.
Lost you some how.
Look who's self righteous now!

Just you and yourself,
all by yourself.
You've picked your battles
and lost your ground.
Now which side of the fence do you stand on?
Don't put the blame on me.

Watched you...
slip away...
Never give...
you just take
away from me...
All I see...are tainted red visions of someone I knew....

I watched you slip.
I watched you fall.
(X2)

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.

This is a really good song, one of the most memorable on their CD. The lyrics are great and easy to relate to, they remind me of friends I've had that have, for some reason or the other, shut me out and changed for the worse. It's perfectly written. It's about how you can get into an argument with a good friend or someone you care about, but they choose to be cold and unforgiving, only to screw themselves out of a great relationship. It hurts to watch someone 'slip away' from being an awesome person to a complete idiot.

Self righteous now. Self righteous now. Lost you some how. Look who's self righteous now!

I believe this is a very powerful part of the song, it's very self-explainitory so, yeah, I highly reccommend it :-)
