Off With Her Head Lyrics

I'm lucky if I ever see the light of day again
My skin is choking me, my feeble walls are closing in
This cell is filled with scholars easing me, they're teasing me
They told me so I didn't know the fall would be this easy
How long until it starts to do me in?
I can't give out what I'm not breathing in
I know they'll come with what I'm owed
Guilty as charged

My enemies belittle me, reminding me the penalty
For all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death

Don't let go 'cause I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine I know
Don't let go, don't let go
Save your own 'cause I don't wanna be this, I don't wanna be this
Death is mine I know
But don't let go, don't let go, savior

Your way to life has only showed me what a fool I am
It serves the purpose of confirming I remain condemned
And I will ever linger on the edge
Unless you hear me

How long until it starts to do me in?
I can't give out what I'm not breathing in
I know they'll come with what I'm owed
Guilty as charged

My enemies belittle me, reminding me the penalty
For all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death

The Grey (Scripted version)

My enemies belittle me, reminding me the penalty
For all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death

Your way to life has only showed me what a fool I am
It serves the purpose of confirming I remain condemned
And I will ever linger on the edge
Unless you hear me

How long until it starts to do me in?
I can't give out what I'm not breathing in
I know they'll come with what I'm owed
Guilty as charged

My enemies belittle me, reminding me the penalty
For all my deeds, despite my pleas, is death

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 think the song is basically about doing something that soon is extremely regretted, and they feel as if they guilt and the 'sin is choking' them. Closing in and making it harder for them to live with themselves. And they are waiting for the penalty to end and are pleading 'Don't let go Savior', basically saying they don't want God to leave them and that they need him to save them from death. So all in all, my interpretation of the song is a cry for help and a cry for forgiveness.

somebody has make a mistake and want to be forgiven even though she knows she's going to die anyway...she is warning us not to become like her because she doesn't wanna be what she is now....
