The Void Lyrics

Are you satisfied?
It's all been watered down
the truth has been bought and sold
and shoved down our throats

breeding monsters, breeding fear
they want us all on our knees
so live your life desensitized
so live your lie, just close your eyes

you'll only know what they want you to know
you'll only see what they want you to see

just close your eyes
greedy minds with greedy eyes
architects of our demise
they will try to cut us down
fists held high, not this time

breeding monsters, breeding fear
they want us all on our knees
caught in the void

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.

Fucking amazing song. About religion and the afterlife. The period after death is often refered to as 'the void'.

"The Void is the philosophical concept of nothingness manifested. The manifestation of nothingness is closely associated with the contemplation of emptiness, and with human attempts to identify and personify it. As such, the concept of The Void, and ideas similar to it, have a significant and historically evolving presence[3] in artistic[4] and creative expression, as well as in academic, scientific and philosophical debate surrounding the nature of the human condition."
