Rot Lyrics

I can't hold my head up in this dark room anymore
I need a lightning bolt to raise me from this grave
Here comes fresh fire
Fresh fire, fresh fire

So infatuated by the darkness and so surrounded by the light
Oh my God, save my soul
And still I want what's pure and want what's right
But I need another fix tonight
Oh my God, save my soul

Beneath her glowing eyes that call like fire to a moth
The most disgusting lies are dressed in beauty that'll rot
Oh my God, you've won the coldest battle we've fought
Deliverance is mine, from more of this beauty that'll rot

Mirror mirror on the wall, will there be glory if I fall?
Oh my God, save my soul
I need a faith that's solid as concrete, but the impact's broken both my knees
Oh my God, save my soul

I can't hold my head up in this dark room anymore
I need a lightning bolt to raise me from this grave
Here comes fresh fire

Breathtaking blinding truth, freedom I never knew

Oh my God, you've won the coldest battle we've fought
Deliverance is mine, from more of this beauty that'll rot

I can't hold my head up in this dark room anymore 
I need a lightning bolt to raise me from this grave 
Here comes fresh fire 
Fresh fire, fresh fire

So infatuated by the darkness and so surrounded by the light 
Oh my God, save my soul 
And still I want what's pure and want what's right 
But I need another fix tonight
Oh my God, save my soul

Beneath her glowing eyes that call like fire to a moth
The most disgusting lies are dressed in beauty that'll rot
Oh my God, you've won the coldest battle we've fought 
Deliverance is mine, from more of this beauty that'll rot

Mirror mirror on the wall, will there be glory if I fall?
Oh my God, save my soul 
I need a faith that's solid as concrete, but the impact's broken both my knees 
Oh my God, save my soul

Beneath her glowing eyes that call like fire to a moth
The most disgusting lies are dressed in beauty that'll rot
Oh my God, you've won the coldest battle we've fought 
Deliverance is mine, from more of this beauty that'll rot 
Don't wanna rot

I can't hold my head up in this dark room anymore 
I need a lightning bolt to raise me from this grave 
Here comes fresh fire

Breathtaking blinding truth, freedom I never knew

Oh my God, you've won the coldest battle we've fought 
Deliverance is mine, from more of this beauty that'll rot

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.

This song is very deep. Comes from a place of experience and disillusionment of this world. The things that this world offers you instead of God are temporal. They are plastic and fake with no depth. They will leave you naked and ashamed. Then at the end you feel like giving up. Could be addiction of any sort, lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and the pride of life. Anything that entices you to follow after if with false hopes of happiness and fulfillment. The writer went down that road and found at the end God was still there and had been there all the time waiting for her. So amazing.
