Slip Away Lyrics

Like so many pictures on a screen
All rushing in at me
And I can't seem to take this
It's getting out of reach
And out of hand
Someday you'll understand why
I can't let it get me
More than I can even handle
I try to do it all
But I just lose control
It drags me down until I break
There's nothing I can do
But watch it slip away
Living a life in stasis
There's no logic in this
And nothing ever changes
Slip further and further every day
I tried to run away
But it just clings to follow
Swirling in confusion
Madness bordering on delusion
Watching life continue on
I'm not a part of this
I watch it slip way

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.
