Terrified Lyrics

I can't feel my body
And nothing else here matters at all
The shapes become electric
Innocence and magic for all

I'm lifting past the skyline
And no one seems to notice my fall
In and out the timelines
Now I see the truth of it all

We'll go (oh-oh), terrified (oh-oh)
We'll go (oh-oh), terrified

Laughter from the children
Streets are made of silence for you
I will reach the summit to hold you in my arms with a view

We'll go (oh-oh), terrified (oh-oh)
We'll go (oh-oh), terrified-fide-fide-fide-fide

We'll go (oh-oh), terrified (oh-oh)
We'll go (oh-oh), terrified

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.

3deep5u introspective piece by Tom. Seems to be about Tom coming to grips with his life post-Blink 182 (2013 to 2022), in which he was no longer in the public eye and was free to live out a quieter existence while reminiscing back on the glory years of the band. He is surprised as the tabloid coverage of him dies down, and that people don't care about what he's up to now that he's not really an active celebrity/rockstar. "Welcome" to retirement, but the thought of never playing a show again "terrifies" him.

He starts to understand his arguments with Mark a little bit more, gets divorced, and gets married again as implied by the final verse.
