Blackout Lyrics

I'm walking down the street
I'm feeling kind of beat
From dragging myself to nowhere

Would you want to hold my hand?
No, you wouldn't understand
Blame it on society
No one's good enough

I saw the sun die; blackout
All of you people, watch out
Stay for the week and we can
Hide 'til it all blows over

I saw you yesterday
But you turned the other way
"How's the going?" should I say?
Yeah, I know you know my name

Won't you come in for some tea?
We can talk about the world
How it's all made up, you see
Who's lying?

I saw the sun die; blackout
All of you people, watch out
Stay for the week and we can
Hide 'til it all blows over

Rise
We will
Rise
Would you take me,
Mold me,
Break me?
No more faking,
Take me somewhere real
Where I can feel
Feel

I saw the sun die; blackout
All of you people, watch out
Stay for the week and we can
Hide 'til it all blows over
I saw

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 it's about being rejected by a guy (I saw you yesterday. But you turned the other way), and feeling like an outcast, (Not accepted in soicety)

I dunno. Just a guess. ;]

"Yeah, I know you know my name." That line always gets to me. I had a fling with a guy in a band, and I feel like screaming that out to him. As in, "Okay, I may not be a so-called rockstar or have a name that tons of people know, but we both know that YOU know my name.."
