So Cold Lyrics

gotta close my mind
gotta hold on tight
gonna do it hard
gonna do it right

gotta close my mind
gotta be so cold
'til this bright, white heat
gonna take it's toll

cold drifting real slow
out in the street
and out of the dark
all in the light

under the lamp
where life gets ill
I've seen it all before
all this bright hoar

all the pretty living dead
pretty egos to be fed
I'm glad that I
just can't care
so glad that it's
getting there

talking real low sweet
watching me real close
make it seem so nice
when it's just like ice

when it's dead and gone
when it's sucked so dry
when it's black and cold
on this bright bright street

all the pretty living dead
pretty egos to be fed
I'm glad that I
just can't care
so glad that it's
getting there

gotta feel that way
gonna end that way
so easy just to give it up
so hard to really care

maybe I will fall
I have no hope at all
then I'll be no use at all
all this bright, white heat

then I'll be no use at all
all this bright, white heat
then I'll be no use at all
all this bright, white heat

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.
