Alone & Sublime Lyrics

This is a spilling of the heart
With no intent to fall apart
I don't feel like I'm even here
You may just watch me disappear

I wonder, did they make me right?
Aren't I supposed to wanna fight
For love, in life
Everything that people say is right
Am I so wrong, to cry
Only when there's something in my eye
Am I to die,
Alone and sublime

She said, hey, you can't get rid of me
So I said, it's time for you to leave
I threw a pebble in a stream
And let it go about as easily
As love that might prosper
All the things they sing about in gospels
Am I so awful, to stumble
Only when I'm walking with another
Is it a blunder to die,
Alone and sublime

Alone and sublime
Alone and sublime
Alone and sublime

This is a spilling of the guts
Without intent to make a fuss
I feel like I'm not even here
You may just watch me disappear

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've heard this song a lot, and I believe it's about someone who (just like Get Out The Way, except less intense, lol) just doesn't feel like other people feel. They say "I feel like I'm not even here. You may just watch me disappear." They state it in a way I feel is emotionless, like "yeah, I'm totally invisible, might kill myself one day, who cares?" They wonder if they were a mistake because they don't have the same strong emotions the people they know have. They don't cry, they don't love, they don't give a damn. They wonder if they will ever care enough to keep a lifetime mate, or if they're just destined to die alone.
