Oh Dead Life Lyrics

Life is too short
to ration out in portions
I spend my time
as soon as I get, it's gone
But I'm in no rush
Oh, I can feel a change;
I'm becoming alive again
I'm in command of my own fate
I can depend on destiny,
if it's safe
Become alive with me
Oh dead life, awake
Rise from your grave
Work your dead job,
rent your home sweet homeless
It almost killed me
and I didn't even notice it
Rise from your death
Try to notice it
Live on the edge
or die in a bed

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.

Carpe diem and all that. The "spend my time as soon as I can" is a cool way to say that when opportunity knocks, don't hesitate.
