Unsound Lyrics

my eyes are clearer now
so much more than before I took my turn
you'll never tell them
where you're going or how to get there
let them fear what they don't understand
... I see the changing of hands

chorus:
whatever makes you whole again
whatever brings you home
I never wanted this, I never wanted this
(x2)

I fear I'm getting older
I know my veins are dirtier now
I watch my youth fly right by
like I couldn't stand to have it any other way
(... can see the changing of hands)

(chorus)

(whatever makes you whole again... whatever brings you home)
I never said I'd do this on my own

whatever makes you whole again
whatever brings you home
I never wanted this, I never wanted this

I'm the only one still standing here

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 believe that this song is about Spencer's feelings of being the only one left after the band split up do to wife's and kids. " I'm the only one still standing here" could be the example. "I watch my youth fly right by like I couldn't stand to have it any other way" Is talking about how he was in Underoath for so long that people just expect that he loved it; well that may be true but he also could be saying that he missed out on a lot of stuff as well. What do you guys think?
