Pure Sincerity Lyrics

Dying is Easy
It's living that's hard
It's so disturbing to hear what you're fearing
Rain of terror out in the cold

Give’em what they want
Give’em what they need

Pure sincerity, pure sincerity
It's what made me born from insanity
Pure sincerity, pure

Questions asked, the answers come quickly
Remorse can be so dangerous
Wolf in the fold, terror within
Out in the cold

Give em what they want
Give em what they need

Pure sincerity, pure sincerity
It's what made me born from insanity
Pure sincerity

The things I am
The things that I've become
The wings of honor
Son of Father

Don't know if I can stand
Where I once fucking stood
If I could, if I could
Don't you think I fucking would!

Things to come, it must be from the heart...
Are these shadows of things from the past?
Are these the shadows of things to come?...
Where do we go?...

Pure sincerity, pure sincerity
It's what made me born from insanity
Pure sincerity

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.

In short i believe that this song is about conforming to the generalized public to the point that you begin to lose your own identity and take on a new persona. Note that he says "Give 'em what they want. Give 'em what they want." and the change in pace and plain out flat mood of the song when he says "The things I am, The things that I've become..." becomes faster and more intense, and not to mention he says "Don't know if I can stand, Where I once fucking stood, If I could, if I could, Don't you think I fucking would!" meaning that he has completly lost touch of his true self.

This is the depiction of what we would be if we were to let our truth(s) come out for the world to see.
