Strangler Lyrics

A resonance in the dark
At the edge of the world
We'll meet once we are free under earth
One big isle, incoherence of one other
The completion, mind astray

I've lived my life through you and I know your emo-, your emotions
I've lived my life through you and I know you're so lone-, so lonely

Get out, get out, get out, get out, go go
Get out, get out, get out
For the you and me
Get out, get out, get out
For the dying me
Get out, get out, get out
You keep on saving me
Get out, get out, get out
For the day is now here

A text in red in the dark
Now the hedge stops my world
I can't see it, cannot see what you wrote
Now it's locked, a disturbance in my heaven
The deletion, the betrayal

I've lived my life through you and I know your emo-, your emotions
Your emotions now
I've lived my life through you and I know you're so lone-, so lonely

Get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out
Go!

Get out, get out, get out
For the you and me
Get out, get out, get out
For the dying me
Get out, get out, get out
You keep on saving me
Get out, get out, get out
For the day is now here

I am your death

I see you through these screens
Sharing life and so naive
I'll protect you from all these things
Now even from death

Even from death

I will see you walk through your life
And don't bother shadows, I'll be minding my own

Get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out
Get out, get out, get out

Get out, get out, get out
For the you and me
Get out, get out, get out
For the dying me
Get out, get out, get out
You keep on saving me
Get out, get out, get out
For the day is now here

One big isle, incoherence of one other

I've lived my life through you and I know your emo-, your emotions
I've lived my life through you and I know you're so lone-, so lonely

Get out, get out, get out
For the dying me
Get out, get out, get out
You keep on saving me
Get out, get out, get out
For the day is now here

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.

Vocalist-guitarist Niklas Karlsson says (I'm paraphrasing); "The EP's title that this track is featured on is 'Shaman' which arose when they came up with a fictional story where a shaman 'collects' or 'chains' people by inviting them to try his drugs in deep jungles." I think this song is about a warning - a foreshadowing that overstaying one's welcome could lead to an uncertain end so best to find a way out before it's too late!
