Relax My Beloved Lyrics

Relax my beloved, don't worry for me.
Don't shed a tear for me, always be near for me.
Be comforted my love, don't bow your head for me.
Promise you'll smile for me,
Don't ever cry for me.

You know these walls, they may fall down,
But I'll still hold onto you,
At heights higher than you'd imagine me to.

Then maybe again, we'll weep like we've done a thousand times before.
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door.

Be still, my heart. I'm only a moment away.
In the next room, or at the break of day.
And I will walk once again, to see your face again.
And I'd hear every word you have to say.

Then maybe again, we'll weep like we've done a thousand times before.
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door.
(No, no, no, no.)
Then maybe again, we'll weep like we've done a thousand times before.
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door.
(No, no, no, no, no)

(oh)

Then maybe again, we'll weep like we've done a thousand times before.
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door.

Then maybe again, we'll weep like we've done a thousand times before.
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door.
(no, no, no, no, no.)

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 about someone who has died reaching out to someone they loved, who was also loved by, and who they hurt during their life. When you lose someone so close you remember all the good. But in reality if you were to see eachother all the same issues would still be there. I think most people can relate to it in a pass relationship tense, and grief comes with that, but with death, it's final. And I think the lyics convey it best: "Be still my heart, I'm only a moment away In the next room or at the break of day And I would walk, once again to see your face again And I'd hear every word you'd have to say" For them to walk again, to see their face again. And for them being so closse but not within reach. I think it reflects upon all the words that were never said or closure that never came. I also see it as a nod to Beethoven's Immortal Beloved letter. Which of course deals with the same thing...
