Escapism Lyrics

It's escapism, it's the warmth of a lie. It's sweet submission, but you're being bled dry. It's a hail of knives pouring relentlessly. And there'll be no end, none that I can see. It's getting harder to find the words. Please believe this aint me, and it'll never be. Lead the way, we've been led astray. It's escapism, it's the warmth of a lie. It's sweet submission, but you're being bled dry. On their hands and knees, before Gods unseen. There's no more light, none that I can see. It's getting harder to find the words. Please believe this aint me, and it'll never be. Lead the way, we've been led astray. It's escapism, it's sweet submission. You're being bled dry.

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.
