Passing Through Lyrics

All is quiet empty streets
All is quiet the city sleeps
Close my eyes
On my knees
And time is passing me by
Time is passing me by

I can't move can't turn back
Out of reach my heart is black
My silent shout
Won't set me free
And time is passing me by

Time is passing me by
Time is passing me by

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.

After listening to this song several times, I have a feeling that it simply says about death, when we know there's no way to survive it and we're gone permanently.

Agree with @lindencat regarding that the "passing" is our death (or if you prefer the end of our life). I think it also touches on living with regrets, or at least ensuring you don't die with regrets; the verse below I believe is dealing with regrets / speaking true whilst alive because too late when you are dead.

I can't move can't turn back Out of reach my heart is black My silent shout Won't set me free And time is passing me by
