Dead Lyrics

Maybe it was just the sleeping pills
When I went to bed last night
Maybe I just never made it home
And what if there's always been
A tiny, tiny hole inside my heart
Leaking very very
Very very slowly

And if you're dead
How do you know if
You are really dead
Or stuck in a dull dream
About nothing that never ends

I was staring out the window when
I could've swore I heard a voice
What if there was someone calling me
Or what if it was just the sound
Of my soul slipping out last night
Sliding in between the cracks of my bedroom door

And if you're dead
How do you know if
You are really dead
Or stuck in a dull dream
About nothing that never ends

We all at minimum
Deserve a unique exit from this world
So if you're there god
See to it god
See to it

And if you're there god
See to it god
See to it

So if you're there god
See to it god
See to it

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 gotta say I really don't know what to take away from this song.

I've read interviews saying they were influenced by the Book of Revelations when writing this album, not as followers but just by the ideas presented in the book.

As an atheist I don't really understand the sentiment of the line:

"We all at minimum Deserve a unique exit from this world"

It sounds extremely vain to me, what do they mean by "unique"?

It's one of my favourite songs on the album, probably for its ambiguity but I was just wondering what other's thought.

The Book of Revelations was their influence for Let Live and Let Ghosts, seeing as it was about Armageddon. Safe Travels and all of their other albums have themes of questioning faith and stuff, because I'm pretty sure that they're agnostic.
