Party Smasher Lyrics

You are only the faded star of my design, junked out
Lost potential and crazy from your questions answered
Walk forth
You're the fulfillment of a fallacy
A creature from a fantasy
Don’t think that you ever knew me
Don't you ever see
We are forever entwined, stuck in a play we can't get out of
Don't you ever see
Don't you ever hear
You and I will never be able to end this
We are forever entwined, stuck in a play we can't leave
You say someday we can start up again
Without a plan
No sign of the pressure
I say you're crazy
I hope you see my face in the mirror
You will never learn
You're forever dead to me
Won't you ever see your shadow?

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.

Cover art for Party Smasher lyrics by Dillinger Escape Plan, The

Since a party crasher is someone that goes to a party uninvited, i figure a party smasher is someone who comepletely wrecks the place without it being planned. It seems to be about a very flawed girl who is physically beautiful who has a pretty empty relationship with someone. They broke up and, even though he is definately over her to the point where she is worthless to him, they still can't escape each other in a situation seemingly outside their control "stuck in a play we can't leave".
