Decoy Lyrics

enter this corridor of light
envision the loss of your sight
daydream when it all seems so right
hallucinate division of the perilous flight
break, break, break it down
push up push up the tempo
incarnate the shadow of your soul
incision a spiritless life to hold
pacify a tranquil state of need
compromise fulfill this righteous seed
impassive within our selves to lead
suspicious contentious life of wealth and greed
close your eyes
and you will see
this target
this emotion
this conspiracy
travel through the stars
universe so large
no answer here
just fear
and buried dreams

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.

Is about how a corrupt and controlling state is killing people's personal growth and leaves sense of hopelessness and the suppression of true emotions. "travel through the stars universe so large no answer here just fear" seems like a metaphor for how the darkness i space leaves them clueless and distant from "the stars". "impassive within our selves to lead" seems like they have to hide feelings to avoid giving a particular impression wealth and greed. "compromise fulfill this righteous seed" like they compromise to sacrifice your own dreams.

It's sad tone in and gives the feeling of hopelessness. But the sound is hard and dark electronics kind of hide it in there. I think it's beautiful.
