Left Behind Lyrics

Extinction
Unreal, yet it seems so clear to me
We're fractured
Just like a crumbling family

I fell down, I found out
That I can't start again
Every time I fall down
Now here we are again
And I am helpless, I feel so helpless now

Malnourished
Impure, our lifeblood's running thin
Short-sighted,
So blind, we can't see out so we burrow in

And we burn every bridge we build
Leave all our dreams unfulfilled
Can't turn the other way, stop and see
We are our own worst enemy

I fell down, I found out
That I can't start again
Every time I fall down
Now here we are again
And I am helpless, I feel so helpless now

What went wrong?
We all started with an equal hand
Here we are and I can't understand
Why I've been left behind

I fell down, I found out
That I can't start again
Every time I fall down
Now here we are again
And I am helpless, I feel so helpless now

We go on and on...
Hope is gone...
Nothing's wrong...
Carry on and on...

I fell down, I found out
That I can't start again
Every time I fall down
Now here we are again
And I am helpless, I feel so helpless now

Unreal, yet it seems so clear to me
We're fractured
Just like a crumbling family

I fell down, I found out
That I can't start again
Every time I fall down
Now here we are again
And I am helpless, I feel so helpless now

Malnourished

And we burn every bridge we build
Leave all our dreams unfulfilled
Can't turn the other way, stop and see

And I am helpless, I feel so helpless now

I fell down, I found out
That I can't start again
Every time I fall down
Now here we are again
And I am helpless, I feel so helpless now

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.
