So Beneath You Lyrics

I don’t believe that I can stay here
And watch them vilify my blood
I don’t believe that you are with me
It’s so beneath you, gazing up

I won’t kneel
I won’t bow
If you’re there now
Strike me down, strike me down, strike me down
Oh, you’ve got nothing

There is none higher than this blood
And I won’t serve anyone
No there is nothing above
And I don’t serve anyone, anyone

There's nothing above

Deep in my heart, a disbeliever
Only inviting in the truth
You’re in my heart, my disbeliever
As holy horror crushes you

I won’t kneel
I won’t bow
No one is there to
Strike me down, strike me down, strike me down
Except the faithful

There is none higher than this blood
And I won’t serve anyone
No there is nothing above
And I don’t serve anyone, anyone

I don’t believe that I can stay here
And watch them vilify my blood
I don’t believe that I can stay here
And watch them vilify your love, my love

I won’t kneel
I won’t bow
If you’re there god
Strike me down, strike me down
You won’t

There is none higher than this blood
And I won’t serve anyone
No there is nothing above
And I don’t serve anyone, anyone

There’s nothing above

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.

Cover art for So Beneath You lyrics by AFI

by wasmadeto

9y ago

Dramatically calling out god and a love about the state of their challenging relationships.

Admonishing the other's lack of surrender with urges that this is all we have and one most be true to oneself instead of everyone else's idea of right and wrong. That they could find a way that works.

Strike me down is a test which either proved by being unscathed or fulfillment because he doesn't want to be without the other.

Unclear if she loves him.
