Dead to the World Lyrics

I can lend you a dream
'Til we meet again
I'm dead to the world
I don't know where I've been
And if you say so
I'll bend over backwards for love
Gonna write you a song
Won't take me long
You can change all the words
And still get them wrong
And if you say so
I'll bend over backwards
But if love ain't enough
To make it alright
Leave me dead to the world
If love ain't enough
To make it alright
Leave me dead to the world
I'm sleeping
It's time to let go
I'm bent over backwards
I'm so tired
Let these be my last words
If love ain't enough
To make it alright
Leave me dead to the world
If love ain't enough
To make it alright
Leave me dead to the world
If love ain't enough
To make it alright
Leave me dead to the world
If love ain't enough to make it alright
Make it alright
Make it alright
It's too bad
'Cause I'm sleeping
I can lend you a dream
'Til we meet again
I'm dead to the world
I don't know where I've been

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 I read somewhere that Noel wrote this song while he was going through his recent divorce. This song is about constant arguments with a loved one and finally saying goodbye to suffering and the relationship itself.
