Overcome Lyrics

The years have past, they remain searching.
I am forever free of those times.
The mindless anthems you chant for the drones.
Clouded visions wasting away each day.

You've held me down and I won't forget those days.
This who I am and I wouldn't change a thing.

Memories flood back at the site of those faces.
The knives in our backs, the scars never healed.

As our friendships fade, the ones I love grow closer.
With all my regrets, this loss will only strengthen.

This is who I am and I wouldn't change a thing.

This is ours.

This is ours and I will fight for what is ours.

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.

[Explanation: A lot of people are stuck in a perpetual state of childhood. Not in the innocent/playful childhood, but confined to a petty life where no change is possible. There are a lot of mistakes in our lives, but a lot of fun times too. Learn, play, and remain dynamic. Don't let the past hold you back from enjoying the present. You may grow apart from other people but those people made you who you are and that cannot be removed. Accept it and grow.]
