Self Immolation Lyrics

Skin
Your scars
Surface is
Rusty blades

Chorus:
Self immolation crying out
Self immolation crying out
Self immolation crying out
Self immolation crying out

Oblivion
Your weakness
Is your temper
Is your temper

Repeat Chorus

Your god
High above
In your veins
Liquid sky

Repeat Chorus

Immortal
Your saviour
Destroys you
Destroys you

Repeat Chorus

SUFFER AGE

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.

Self-immolation is the act of suicide, often by fire. It is considered to be among the most powerful symbolic acts of sacrifice. It also may be a part of religious rituals, as said with "Your god. High above".
