Dark City, Dead Man Lyrics

When the streetlights fade.
Warm rain like judgement descends.
Their voice numbs me.
Speaking words in a dead tongue.
I have walked a road that lead me back to you.
From a window our glances met.
My true colours I cannot hide.
The landscape has changed.
You don’t recognise me.
These pictures slowly fade.
Memories wither, they are all gone.
Further down the steps get steeper.
You haunt me in my dreams.
I let go and fall deeper.
This will be the end of 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 would go as far to say that this is the best doom metal song ever. Lyrically? Maybe not. But there is a word for such masterpieces - Epic. Period.

Three comments and all there of you said absolutely ZERO. Men! OK, before I get to the actual song, if you're gonna write the word "fucking," than at least have the user name of BOINK rather than "poink." I'm guessin' there were some problems in English class:) OK...now for the song....in the morning s/he is judged by another for his/her actions the previous night. The words are hurtful (probably condesending as well). He sees her (someone important to him) but he feels as though she sees through him...she sees all of him (good/bad/ugly) and that is unnerving. She no longer 'recognizes" him (he's changed in her eyes due to his bad actions). The good memories begin to die, replaced with the bad. He's spiraling downward and all that remains of her is in his dreams. (I could be sooo far off, but it's better than what the three bozos above had to offer...cowards:)
