Dirty Lyrics

I'm no stranger
To this thing called war
Just a person starving
(Stranger, stranger)
What makes us human
Becomes a ghost
I can barely breathe in
(All I see is war!)

[Chorus 1]
I never knew what you needed
I just know I'm wrong
I know its hard for you to believe
I'm gonna die whole
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)

[Verse 2]
I'm just a passenger you've never seen before
Inside a shell that's dying
(Fading hatred)
What makes us do this?
We can't ignore
I can almost taste it
(All I see is war!)

[Chorus 2]
I never knew what you needed
I just know I'm wrong
I know its hard for you to believe
I'm gonna die whole (I'm gonna die!)
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)

[Chorus 1]
I never knew what you needed
I just know I'm wrong
I know its hard for you to believe
I'm gonna die whole
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)

[Outro]
Hold
(Watch the hate you feed)
Hold your own
(Watch the hate you feed)

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 think this song is about those in power always feeding the war machine rather then finding another way to solve their issues. The song is also speaking of a more peaceful resolution would be best instead of feeding the hate & the senseless death that lies in its wake.
