Shudder Lyrics

So sad to everyone
Did not occur to you
Wake up an empty shell
Someone to crawl into

Dead days refuse to dream
The blanket still asleep
Concealing every flaw
'Til you uncover me

Could it be
That I'm fading
Far away
Straight out of it

No truth I can confirm
No truth that I can sense
Passing time I can't recall
The truth it surfaces

Open eyes open heart
Open up and fall apart

Could it be
That I'm fading
Far away
Straight out of it

I'll be that burden you bear
I'll be that burden you bear
I'll be that burden you bear
I'll be that burden you

No truth I can confirm
No truth that I can sense
Passing time I can't recall
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces
The truth it surfaces

Could it be
That I'm fading
Far away
Straight out of it

I'll be that burden you bear
I'll be that burden you bear
I'll be that burden you bear
I'll be that burden you
Burden you
Burden you
Burden you
Burden you

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 personally think this song is about realising that you are nobody and that you get so depressed that sleep at night can take that away, until u wake up the next morning and go into this 'empty shell' and be a nobody for one more day

This song grinds on me ... the music is very 'meh' and the lyrics aren't too bad, but the vocals grind on me for this song.
