The Disciple Lyrics

Lying on the floor, I hear it pounding down the door
All them fuzzy, awful thoughts are floating into shore

See these broken strings, you tore them with your lazy heart
Old wind blazing our open, tired grave - it's tearing us apart

Cry,
Oh angel cry
Your favorite disciple is tearing out his eyes

Cry,
Oh angel cry,
Your favorite disciple is tearing out his eyes

All the things these eyes have seen, this time they've really crossed the line
I think I'll pack up all my shit and cross to Palestine

Strip down all my clothes, I'm gonna run into the wild
Leave you with my bitter wounds, leave you with my pride

Cry,
Oh angel cry
Your favorite disciple is tearing out his eyes

Is tearing out
His eyes

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.

The first version of this song is so much better than the recorded one. The strings of that guitar are literally killing me... plus the lyrics that are so powerful! I'm pretty sure the song's about a failed relationship, the singer feels deserted by his other half, the one that tried to transform him. I think she influenced him so much that now he feels lost and doesn't know who he is anymore. And this is a pretty bad state to be in, especially when that person leaves you.

I also think this song can have multiple meanings, but the vibe that the song gives me, personally, is that of being alone, hurt and wanting to "tear out your eyes"....to try to replace the spiritual pain with a physical one. One of my favourite songs of Asaf. love it& love him
