Alone on the Horizon Lyrics

The wind against me
Each life that passes by
Gives me another chance to die
There are so many opportunities
To turn off this switch
Give up on everything, close our eyes
And rot away with a kiss to dirt found six feet under
But I push on
And when the negatives build up
I try to erase them, than let the burden drag me down
Sometimes I must let go of things I love
Or befriend some I hate
But life is a struggle and I’m not giving up
Or letting anyone give up on me
I strive to live
I wont let my lungs collapse in a pool of problems
Though I am tied to an anchor crafted by blackened hearts
I can break free
When will I be alone on the horizon?
With no one pursuing me with knives aimed at my back

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.

suicide is always an option. but not the right one to take. work to make things better for yourself things will never be perfect because there are always people out to hurt, but it is always good to hope for a better tomorrow.
