Forging a Future Self Lyrics

Please cut this noose, untie these hands for me
They will insurrect my former self
Hide behind your failed design
Perfect its imperfections
I'll carry out the plans of old
I'll dig through the remains of my ruins
Unearthing something truly remarkable once hidden by your opaque heart
I'll carry out plans of old. Digging through the remains of my ruins
From this day forth, your love will poison no longer
A strange suffocation, enticing existence
It's comforting, the artificial life
A ghostly bliss without your kiss
Never grasping what you've hoped for
Your translucent hands pass through the sunlight
You'll never feel that loving glow
Damned to be deprived of the blissful warmth of heaven
As you dissipate into the shadows

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.
