Sing For Me Lyrics

It's getting hard to breath.
Darkness in my head frightens me.
There's a little devil in my mouth
writing ugly words for you to shout.
The virgin soul that lived in me
is raped by insecurity.
I need you to sing.

Sing for me my love.
Sing the right from wrong.
Here inside my mind
truth is hard to find.

It's getting too crowded here.
All alone and playing with my fear.
I don't want this anymore,
I've tied myself down to the floor,
I need you to sing.

Sing for me my love.
Sing the right from wrong.
Here inside my mind
truth is hard to find.

Sono mihi.
Sing for me.
Sono mihi.
Sing for me.
Sono mihi.
Sing for me.
Sono mihi.
Sing for me.
Sono mihi.

Sing for me my love, sing.

Sing for me my love.
Sing the right from wrong.
Here inside my mind
truth is hard to find.

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 also get the insecurity feeling. I think she's facing a decision of some sort and is asking for reassurance and guidance that she's doing the right thing. The metaphor of tying herself to the floor I think means that she doesn't want the burden of the decision and refuses to move one way or the other without support from her loved one. She's receiving too many opinions on which way she should decide, which is clouding the truth from her, so she reaches out to someone she trusts for guidance.

And for me, the phrase 'I need you to sing for me' conjures an image of someone needing to be cradled and reassured. It's a very strong image for being such a simple phrase.

I think this song is about someone who is insecure being reassured by someone that they love. I think the word "sing" is a metaphor for some she loves talking to her, and the way it is like singing.
