Indifferent Lyrics

Distraught in deprived thought within a golden rave I make it a point of being pointless pointless brainwash it all away distressed and I detest distressed and I detest vain in a shade of gray shade of gray telegraphing all of my punches couldn't fight couldn't fight my way out of a cardboard box and in my own small way I make an indifferent, difference I realize, I fantasize, I apologize I'm sorry crawling under a rock I hold up a white flag I hold up a white flag I could of been, I should of been I'm just a has been I hold up a white flag responsibility, rationale, religion I hold my head down in disgust distressed and I detest distraught in deprived thought

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.

Off of the first, self-titled album. One of my favorite Mushroomhead songs. A pretty simple song to understand. I love listening to it when I'm pissed off and frustrated with not feeling important/noticed.

Feeling futile is the main theme of this song. The best lines are "Telegraphing all my punches, couldn't fight my way out of a cardboard box" and "I hold up a white flag: responsibility, rationale, religion."
