Nihilist Abyss Lyrics

When I walk alone I'm walking with you
When I sleep alone I'm sleeping with you
When I just drink alone, I get so drunk with you
When I go out alone, I'm dying
I'm dancing
I'm dying with you
I'm dying
I'm dancing
I'm dying with you

Set me free
Let me never feel, let me never feel, let me never fear anything
Set me free
Let me never feel, let me never feel, let me never fear anything
Set me free
Like we never kissed, like we never touched, like we never did anything
Never did anything
Never feel anything

How can you resent love?
Can you prevent any love at all?
How can you resent love?
Can you prevent any love at all?
I meant what I said back then but the danger now is all my anger spinning out of orbit toward the nihilist abyss

When I walk alone I'm walking with you
When I sleep alone I'm sleeping with you
I meant what I said back then but the danger now is all my anger spinning out of orbit toward the nihilist abyss

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.
