Defy Lyrics

Lifecycles & planned obsolescence
A perfect trap disguised as assistance
It takes the pain away
It takes the pain away
Control the sentience of the masses
Relief replaced with silent disaster
But I won't fade away
No, I won't fade away

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, Irreverent
I will rise I see through your disguise, & all your lies
I defy

A numbing cure for the common existence
Replace security for subsistence
It takes the pain away
It takes the pain away
Victimize, enable, beguile
A body count without a reprisal
But I won't fade away
No, I won't fade away

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, Irreverent
I will rise I see through your disguise, & all your lies
I defy

Sometimes the pain of life's too much to mitigate
But I refuse to march into an early grave
I refuse to march into an early grave!

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, Irreverent
I will rise I see through your disguise, & all your lies
I defy

Defy!
Defy!
Defy!
I defy!

This One's For You

Lifecycles & planned obsolescence
A perfect trap disguised as assistance
It takes the pain away
It takes the pain away
Control the sentience of the masses
Relief replaced with silent disaster
But I won't fade away
No, I won't fade away

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, Irreverent
I will rise I see through your disguise, & all your lies
I defy

A numbing cure for the common existence
Replace security for subsistence
It takes the pain away
It takes the pain away
Victimize, enable, beguile
A body count without a reprisal
But I won't fade away
No, I won't fade away

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, Irreverent
I will rise I see through your disguise, & all your lies
I defy

Sometimes the pain of life's too much to mitigate
But I refuse to march into an early grave
I refuse to march into an early grave!

I defy, this hopelessness
I defy, your callousness
I defy, Irreverent
I will rise I see through your disguise, & all your lies
I defy

Defy!
Defy!
Defy!
I defy!

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.
