The Emotion Lyrics

Shadows fill my mind up
Zeros tell me my time's up
I lost count so long ago
Maybe my heart's numb
Don't hold my hands accountable
They're young and they're dumb

Drive through the time zones
Escape out of my mind's own hold
I lost you not long ago
Heaven knows I'm miserable
Hell takes all the credit though
'Til the day is done

The emotion inside of me, out of me
The emotion's building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

Islands under eyelids
Swim through the silence
You were all that, all that, all that I needed
Falling, falling into the deep end now

The emotion inside of me, out of me
The emotion's building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

Rolling through the dark
Calling to the light of day
Both eyes are open now
Now I'm running
I won't turn around for you

The emotion inside of me, out of me
The emotion's building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

Shadows fill my mind up
Zeros tell me my time's up
I lost count so long ago
Maybe my heart's numb
Don't hold my hands accountable
They're young and they're dumb

Drive through the time zones
Escape out of my mind's own hold
I lost you not long ago
Heaven knows I'm miserable
Hell takes all the credit though
'Til the day is done

The emotion inside of me, out of me
The emotion's building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

Islands under eyelids
Swim through the silence
You were all that, all that, all that I needed
Falling, falling into the deep end now

The emotion inside of me, out of me
The emotion's building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

Rolling through the dark
Calling to the light of day
Both eyes are open now
Now I'm running
I won't turn around for you

The emotion inside of me, out of me
The emotion's building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

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’m surprised no one has commented yet. This song is one of the most heartfelt songs about a lost relationship I have ever heard. The song doesn’t specify who ended it but it explains the complexity of ending something you through was so sure. The emotion felt is never specified either which is significant. This notes all the things he is feeling:anger, sadness,regret, love, maybe even hate. It’s beautiful
