Weightless Lyrics

Come close,
Lay next to me

Come close,
Lay next to me
I need to tell you something important
Stay close,
Lay next to me
I need to feel important

Because it's your eyes I don't believe
And my heart, I know, you will deceive
Do you know the consequence that comes with having such confidence?

Holding all the weight in my life
Now you turn and walk away from me
So what is this now, you ask of me?
What's makes your pain such an urgency?
Now I want out, so plain to see
Once again my dear, a brand new tragedy

Holding all the weight in my life
Now you turn and walk away from me
Holding all the weight in my life
Now you turn and walk away from me

Bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and you run away from me
You're bleeding all the strength from my life
Then you turn and you run away from me

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.

I love the new version of this song. It's a remake of 'Urgency'. I've had it on repeat for the past two days. The new electric stuff is amazing.

I love hearing his progression from his old songs to new versions. He did it with "Sleeping Sickness" and now this remake of "Urgency." I think it's about sort of being tortured by someone you love...they mean so much to you and they hold "all the weight in my life," but they "turn and walk away." The relationship ends when he realizes he's being hurt and his heart is being "misled," but they're stil hurting each other. Brilliantly portrayed with his lyrics.

ok, so the very intro, first three chords, and I flashed immediately to Shade by Silverchair. I know it's worlds apart but.... just me?!
