Slipping Away Lyrics

Pale against the sun
My world is
Slowly dissolving
Ground beneath my feet
It's melting away
Black falls into black
I'm just a shadow
Of
My former self
Losing gravity
Don't you know I'm
Slipping away
Fix your stare load your eyes
Now I'm shot down in
Flames
Fix your stare load your eyes
All in the firmament
Flares
A sea of melting clocks
The tick-tock
Time dripping away
All that was for real
Is just a memory
Starting to fade
All that was for real
Just a memory
Slipping away
It's
Slipping
Away

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.
