Everyday Life Lyrics

Wake up
A new day has come
Bringing new fears
It's time to face the crowd
Outside the sky is wearing grey
The clothing are worn
Colours faded away
I wish I could stay standing
I wish I could stay strong
But I can't stand on my own
Everyday life, everyday death
A strength forever gone
Outside world reveals my distress
Dead man walking the streets
Doing a senseless job to live
Perpetual motion of fears
Buried alive: everyday life

Those feeling of confinement
Bring me down
Six feet underground
Help me
Because I can't stand upright today

It Can't Be

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.
