A Soundtrack to Complete Withdrawal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everything has no one to save us
(Fraction mammoths, the gaps are growing)
The dying decades, that first reveals all
Total withdrawal, silence for all
The last generation by polarisation
Solitary youth, this laziness finds its truth

[Pre-Chorus]
I will be your weakness, I will help you make sense
I will be your battle ground, can I tie your blindfold?

[Chorus]
So far while you hold my fingers tight
Second soundtrack to withdraw tonight
So far while you hold my fingers tight
Second soundtrack to withdraw tonight

[Verse 2]
So keep walking slow like a pilgrim
(Even when your heart is breaking)
A gentle crew rise to their feet you know
Total withdrawal, silence for all
The last generation by polarisation
Solitary youth, this laziness finds its truth

[Pre-Chorus]
I will be your weakness, I will help you make sense
I will be your battle ground, can I tie your blindfold?

[Chorus]
So far while you hold my fingers tight
Second soundtrack to withdraw tonight
So far while you hold my fingers tight
Second soundtrack to withdraw tonight

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
So far while you hold my fingers tight
Second soundtrack to withdraw tonight
So far while you hold my fingers tight
Second soundtrack to withdraw tonight

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.
