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 this might be a statement about the demos that leaked in January, hence the generic 'Untitled' (all 9 tracks were, of course, untitled).
In a recent interview with Kerrang, Jesse commented on how the leak had upset and angered him. In the official forums, a lot of members have been speculating about how "scary" this song is- some have even said it contains low bass notes that instill fear in the listener.
Perhaps this is Jesse's response to those responsible for the leak and even those who downloaded it. The quality of the recording is quite poor, a lot of people have discovered voices and laughter in the background and, all in all, it's quite messy (random harmonics, feedback, words repeated in a strange tone).
Remember, in 'Failure By Design', Jesse sung the words "We
don't believe in filler"- if this messy arrangement of feedback, guitars and voices is not filler, it must have some significance.
Thoughts?
I always believed that he said "I could never love you"
I think it's wonderful that everyone thinks different things.
We all hear what we can relate. Whether it be I could never miss it, or listen, or love you, or lose her, or love her, or whatever. That's why I love this song.
1- I am pretty sure I hear Jessie crying (00:46) following with someone saying, "It's gonna be alright."
2- This sounds like a distorted voice mail message from, I'm assuming, his now former gf. Speed up the beeps and tell me what you think.
I imported this song into Audacity and was able to split each stereo track so that I got one which just the vocal and ambiance and one which was the guitar. She is definitely saying "I can/could never lose it". At certain parts in the song it is either sped up or slowed down, but that is what she is saying.
As confirmed by the people who have manipulated the track, it is indeed 'This never ends...' or something along those lines.
First of all I will point out the blinding obviousness of what this entails to those who don't seem to get it:- Anything that you can hear being 'said' when you play the track like normal is mere coincedence, even if the band intended for this when they released the record or not.
Secondly, it is a sample. This means technically there are no lyrics as it is not recorded vocals, but a sample imported into the track and edited therein (octave shift on the first two times it is used, the fade in when the 'sequence' first starts and wave stretch every fifth time on the 'sequence'.
Finally, IT IS NOT JESSE WHO IS SPEAKING ON THE SAMPLE. It is somebody else, maybe from an answering machine like somebody suggested. Whether or not this sample was recorded with intention for use on this record or it happens to be a message somebody left for Jesse (or somebody else) on an answering machine which the band decided to use is up for discussion, unless the band have said in an interview.
As for the meaning of the song, I believe it is up for personal interpretation. The band know that 99.9% of people will never bother to listen to it backwards and probably intended to create this sort of debate between people who have listened to the track. I personally thought it was 'I could never listen' when I first heard it. I think some of the suggestions people have made such as it being a message to the people who leaked the original demos are viable though it may also be possible that the band decided to leave it untitled so as to not create any discussion about the meaning of the song, therefore, as I said, to leave it upto the interpretation of the listener. I'm glad to say I avoided the leaks as I know myself how infuriating this can be. I believe the person on the sample may be a friend of Jesse's who passed away and he happened to have a message from them on his answering machine so they used it. It is obvious, however you view it, that this is a very emotionally charged song.
In my opinion (and I think it's actually posted on some sites) he said "I can never love you/I can never reach you". I LOVE this song - the fact it's so unrefined and rough just makes it all the better, and leaves it open for even more interpretation.
I played this one backwards and got the same (this never ends). It sounds like Jesse's voice by the way...
Anyways, seeing as the whole album's about the Devil and God Raging Inside and about how he's always have to come back to God in repentance to me says that this song is him saying that he wishes that this would just end. He wants to grow out of it and mature beyond stupidity and stuff.
First off, what is being said playing the track forward is clearer and obviously the opriginal track, not the backwards one. If either is a coincidence, it is the backwards track.
Second, It's not just a sample, he's singing it in a sort of whispery tease.
Third, it is Jesse, it's extremely obvious that it's Jesse repeating "I could never miss it" if you just turn off the right speaker.

Just my thoughts.
If, in fact, the lyrics are:
"I can never love you
I can never love you, I can never reach you"

Just throwing in my .02
There is definatly a cough or a cry and some speech in there. I solo'ed the left channel and there is someone talking around that point.

@UnoriginalUsername " Just throwing in my .02." I like it. :)

Well, played backwards it seems to do this:
This never ends no This never ends no This never ends no this never ends
