Epitome Lyrics

Lost
It's been a long time
For this moment to come
Lost
It's been a long line
Where I've been waiting too long [X2]

All those words and the consequences
Won't you please shed some light
All the fear and all that joy
Guide my way as I turn in desire

[Chorus]
How it hurts when I give up
The way that it ends
Twist and turn 'til it erupts
The way it commands...
[Chorus]

Lost
It's been a long fight
And it kept holding on
Lost
It's been a long sigh
It has been clearing my mind!

All those years being overloaded
All the strength I put in
Let me share what I've done to myself
I've been losing to win

[Chorus] x1

[Altered Chorus#1]
How it hurts when I give up
You don't understand
Twist and turn, the way it looks
Into my eyes again!!!
[Altered Chorus#1]

[Solo: Coudret]

[Chorus] x1

[Altered Chorus#2]
How it hurts when I give up
You don't understand
Twist and turn, the way it looks
The way it commands!!!
[Altered Chorus#2]

The way it commands...

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.

My favorite off the album, I think it seems dark. I believe it's about depression, because the song makes me slightly depressed, which I enjoy. I always like a song that controls my emotions, because that means it's passionate. Depressing metal is the shit, especially when you have fast paced bands like Soilwork slow down a little bit, they can't help but explode with their speed by the end of the song. Beautiful.
