Cast Me Away Lyrics

when I say I'm living with an angel that's you
when I say I'm living with an angel that's you

and I'm gonna burn you out
and I'm gonna burn you down
and I'm gonna burn you out
and I'm gonna burn you down

when I say I'm living with the devil
you know who I mean

and I'm gonna burn you out
and I'm gonna burn you up
and I'm gonna burn you out

cast me away today
save yourself
cast me away today
save yourself
anyway you can

I'm gonna burn you out
I'm gonna burn you down
I'm gonna burn you out
I'm gonna burn you down

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.

Pretty sure this is about Mike and his wife. His downward spiral into alcohol and his constantly being gone on the road/studio seemingly caused massive pain in their lives. He says, "Cast Me Away, Save Yourself". Self-pity, or objective reasoning?
