Stand Apart Lyrics

Everyday I say the words
Nothing's real
Nothing hurts
Taste it but I can't decide
That what I feel is my own mind
Take it all and spread it out
What I've seen
What I've learned
No one else here sees the signs
Every word and every thought

I will take one sure step
Break it and stand apart

Should I continue to follow and serve
Or wear the crown I choose
Swallow it all

I will take one sure step
I am waking up
I'll break this flesh bound cage
And stand apart
I'll take one sure step
I'll change
I’ll face this construct
Make it fall away

You will know when
There’s always something
there for you to see
The face in the crowd
To open another door
You will know when
There’s always something
there for you to see
The face in the crowd
To open another door

Should I continue to follow and serve
Or wear the crown I choose
Swallow it all

I will take one sure step
I am waking up
I'll break this flesh bound cage
And stand apart
Stand apart

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.
