Carbon Monoxide Lyrics

If you happen to walk by and see
The door is cracked
Don't bother looking
My letters are on the kitchen table
For you to read
I'm sorry i'm not the daughter you needed to me to be

Now i dream
Carbon monoxide
Set me free
Carbon monoxide
Window to eternity
Please forgive me

I want to dance with you again
The only thing keeping us apart is my skin
I'll just cut and set myself free
If that's the only way you can be with me

Now i dream
Carbon monoxide
Set me free
Carbon monoxide
Window to eternity
Please forgive me

Your body's been dead since September
But i still remember
My blood whispers your name
My spirit waits for you to take me away

I don't want to live one more day
Nothing left inside me is sane

Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide
Forgive me

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.

I think the first verse of the song is about a girl leaving her suicide note on the kitchen table for parents to find. The chorus is about her dreaming of dying. The the second verse means that she wants to be reunited with someone that has died. The third verse is about the person who she wants to be reunited with. She still remembers them and she can't wait to die so that she can be with them.
