Giving It All Away Lyrics

Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
to help me see
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
I’m in a deep sleep dream
You see my eyes are weighted down
I’m tired of the lonely sound
Of the choir’s cold control
The hold it’s got won’t let me go
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
to help me sleep
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free
I’m in a deep sleep dream
You see my eyes are weighted down
I’m tired of the lonely sound
Of the choir’s cold control
The hold it’s got won’t let me go
In a dream I once had hope
A sober wish to have control
The weight I held, it felt so light
Now that dream has taken hold
But I’m dead or drunk or doped
A drowning that I thought felt right
So now I wake the feeling’s sold
Exchanged for what I do not know
The cost of living while your high
Giving it all away, giving it all away for free

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.
