Excerpts From An Interview With A Suicide Artist Lyrics

I'll pierce my wrists with rusty steel and paint my sheets with blood...I'd like to work with garbage I pick up off the street... art is transient and life is cheap... I'm gasoline, somebody ignite me... a fourteen story leap of spastic flaming agony should get me in the right magazines and the concrete... some appreciate the social statement or the gruesome shock value and some like the colors: the silver, the copper, the ochre, the red the red the red the red the red

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.

When did IHM get so ... metaphorical? Everything's always been so straightforward, I love it!

What are the colors? silver: the concrete, copper: rusted blade, ochre: flames, red: blood?

Such a great song!

Burnman =\= I Hate Myself.

Burnman, I Hate Myself, and Die Hoffnung are all different entities, despite having the same core members.
