Keep Your Grip Tight Lyrics

My hands are slipping, try to retain my grip before I slip.
I have let go, falling towards the everlasting, when will I slip
I will sink forever, I will never stop my breathing
My life plays through the eyes of the dead. Pay attention and find your flaws
A slide show of every detail, you cant control it.
For you don’t have infinite time to.
I am holding on to my rope which has finally turn to shreds, its turned to thread, as I dangle off this string I can only think of one thing
(chorus)
this doesn’t look so ordinary, free falling towards what I thought was the ground, my life plays through the eyes of the dead, a slide show of every detail, pay close attention and find your flaws, you have infinite time.

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.
