A Current Obsession Lyrics

Come to me
to feel my protection
a countdown to my revelation
no more respect
for your regrets

And your time has come

The naked truth is in disguise
It's your secret complication
exhausted of this sacrifice
just like a lying preacher

Hiding to survive

So strong living in torture
I know that you will never see
the light again

So hard living in torture
erase the burning fear into
your eyes again

The silent scream is stronger now
you cannot keep it too long
this cloud evolving into rain
your desert seems so far now

Come into my arms

Following your line
I'm losing mine

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 can't believe no one's commented on this song, it's my favorite Lacuna Coil song ever!!!

I get the impression that the lyrics are about depression, and being controlled by someone stronger than you. Someone you can't get away from, who treats you with a total lack of respect.

This was the first Lacuna Coil song I'd ever heard while browsing through WinMX years ago. It opened the floodgates, so to speak, in my interest in the band. Love it a lot.

The person can pull the plug on the relationship with so and so, but doesn't, though the person longed for it. So and so has been lying and can't face the truth, so they go to the person they treated badly, who wanted a good relationship with them at first but recently just wanted to get rid of them. There's a definite ambivalence of the tortured person in the song. I've felt this way with people who've hurt me too before.
