A For Andrew Lyrics

I have an illness,
And it is called myself.

I am so desperate.
I'm getting in over my head.

I regret so many things I've done.
The past is to remind me how broken I am.
How broken I am.

How naive I was.
How naive I was.

I've suffered the consequences,
This world is not for me.
I've suffered the consequences,
I've failed you, I've failed everyone.

I've put so many things above you,
But you still are always there for me.
I don't know who I am anymore.
If I even knew who I was,

How naive I was.
How naive I was.

My head starts pounding,
My body begins to burn,

I'm tired.
I'm beat down.
And my hope is dying.

I've suffered the consequences,
This world is not for me.
I've suffered the consequences,
I've failed you, I've failed everyone.

I've put so many things above you,
But you still are always there for me.
I don't know who I am anymore,
If I even knew who I was.

I've put so many things above you,
But you still are always there for me
I don't know who I am anymore
If I even knew who I was

MOVE!

I have an illness,
And it is called myself.

I am so desperate.
I'm getting in over my head.

I regret so many things I've done.
The past is to remind me how broken I am.
How broken I am.

How naive I was.
How naive I was.

I've suffered the consequences,
This world is not for me.
I've suffered the consequences,
I've failed you, I've failed everyone.

I've put so many things above you,
But you still are always there for me.
I don't know who I am anymore.
If I even knew who I was,

How naive I was.
How naive I was.

My head starts pounding,
My body begins to burn,

I'm tired.
I'm beat down.
And my hope is dying.

I've suffered the consequences,
This world is not for me.
I've suffered the consequences,
I've failed you, I've failed everyone.

I've put so many things above you,
But you still are always there for me.
I don't know who I am anymore,
If I even knew who I was.

I've put so many things above you,
But you still are always there for me
I don't know who I am anymore
If I even knew who I was

MOVE!

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.

This seems to be the underrated song of the album, but it's the 2nd heaviest next 2 AC-130. This sounds a lot like ADTR 2. It's about letting someone down and being wrecked by guilt.

"i've put so many things above you but you still are always there for me" is referring to him letting God down. He feels like he's lost.

This is from an interview with Johnny.

"The reason for this song's name is that our guitarist [Andrew Whiting] wanted our whole record to be in drop-A tuning. We went with B for the majority of the album, so this song in drop-A is for Andrew. We just wanted to make the heaviest, sludgiest song we possibly could. This song is about putting things above God and how He still is always there for you. No matter how many times we deny Him, He knows how broken we are and still loves more than anything.
