Wasted On The Living Lyrics

I drop myself into still, still water
My body collapse as the elements unite
There is no sound but echoes of my beliefs

Lights fade as death appears
Slightly as shades
Soft tunes in the air
Under water - in the water

My living has left the realm of reality
All dreams are real
What was real I dreamt
Under water

Discovering the yearning for greed and hate
The deeper I sink
Eyes dilated in terror
Reveal unseen dimensions of cruelty

Lights fade as death appears
Slightly as shades
Soft tunes in the air
Under water - in the water

My living has left the realm of reality
All dreams are real
What was real I dreamt
Under water

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.
