Unknown Lyrics

It's been so long, I can't hold on
All this suffering I've done
I can't escape, cause inside I'm breaking
Inside I'm breaking up
I've been used, and it's all I can do
To wash it away

Have I become a face to a new name?
I've tried to make it up enough
Are we better off, are we better off unknown

I face a new day
Will you meet me there or disappear with no trace
It's happened again
No more wind under broken wings to remind me of angels
My life's been pages, open books
Of an empty, careless impossible waste

I can't escape, will your words confine me, or will they set me free
Am I the only one to blame, for all the games we play?
Are we better off, are we better off unknown

Hold on to me for one more day
I feel I'm fading away
Are we better off, are we better off unknown

Am I the only one to blame, for all the games we play?
Are we better off, are we better off unknown

I'm better off unknown

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 song, to me, reminds me of every time I've ever felt I don't belong in a particular crowd. Everyone's doing their own thing and I'm always lost in the world, so I've just felt that maybe it would be better if I never existed. I've actually hurt people when I found what I want, so I find that this song bears some relevance to that. For some time, I just wanted to hide and pretend I never existed, just so I wouldn't get hurt and I wouldn't hurt other people. This song makes me think of that. Every time I feel I don't fit in, every time I fuck up.

This song, I haven't heard it before, but from the lyrics, it sounds great. It shows the life of outsiders, and how everyday people can feel. Love it.
