Everything Is Burning Lyrics

Everything is burning, everything is changing
Right before our eyes and we can't see
How quickly time is fading away
Don't look so surprised
You knew this day was coming for so long
Forget about all your lies and all your indecisions
Time is fading
One day the earth and sky will burn
And all that we'll be left with
Is the truth of God and the souls of man
From the beginning all we knew
Is our days were numbered and time was slowly fading
From the beginning all we knew
Is our days were numbered and time was fading away
Everything is burning away

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.

Allright, I hate the "cliche-emo beginning" with 'Everything is Burning.' I am a big fan of harder music (August Burns Red, Norma Jean, Haste the Day). However, these gents lay down some very outstanding lyrics. And, I think this song is very obvious in this meaning, as are the rest. Don't have to search for the meaning like in some of Norma Jean's songs, but, it makes it a little more rewarding :)
