I Am Lyrics

Gone astray we find ourselves
Right on the edge of falling apart
Don't you see it's in our ways
When something's done wrong, we just go along
It lights a fire inside of me
Just show we when this living stops

I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I could choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart

Cut to the cord start to breathe
We're living life at frantic speed
Don the suit and ride the steed
With these shackles on you won't come to harm
I could be the worst of these
A sinking ship on the open sea

I am father and son
I am all that I fear
I could choose to give up
We could tear the world apart
Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart

All on my own I'm trying
To change how you see and what you believe
To fight fire with fire and live eye for eye
We'll all end up blind and burning
Burning, burning

Tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart
We could tear the world apart

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 love this song so much, it really gives me a kind of energy and a feeling of possibility. I think it's about wanting to take a stand, even though you're just one person, and do something about the things in this world that need fixing, not ignoring. But I'm probably wrong. hehe. That's just what I think and feel when I listen to it.
