Cycles of Tragedy Lyrics

Back and forth - the face to face
Space between the emptiness
We don't always radiate, a sense of faith
But it's the place I long to be

I believe it's my destiny
A crater laid empty, screams to increase
Stable safety rears its pretty face
Afraid of the failure - afraid of the pain

Inside the back and forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny

Inside the back and forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny

Careful brain I creep right past you
My actions test your security
I'm not afraid of your healing approval
Snapped in half - broken in two

Inside the back and forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny

Inside the back and forth
Between the emptiness
Is the place I long to be
Another shot at destiny

Back and forth - the face to face
Space between the emptiness
We don't always radiate, a sense of faith
But it's the place I long to be

My eyes at times at times see the perfect picture
Yet I sacrifice, solid ground and a balanced life
Cycles of tragedy

Afraid of the failure - afraid of the pain

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 is about overcoming our own barriers. Sometimes the biggest obstacle standing in the way of our own progress is ourselves.
