What's That You Say Lyrics

I see those empty spaces wonderin' round and round
Talkin to themselves, talkin' to the ground
We all know we're 6 feet from our grave
But do you really care if your soul is saved

What's that you say?
I know your young and I know your not afraid
What's that you say?
But when it's time to go, is that what you'll say?
I'm not afraid
I fear the thought and you finally realize
All alone in your head, all alone inside
What's that you say?

I knew a man who was hanging on the edge
Fallin to his knees with every word he said
And then one day the miracle took
If not that empty space would have swollowed him up

I don't wanna think about it anymore
I don't wanna think about it anymore

I know sometimes it's hard to read between the lies
But there's a truth that sanity denies
Some people say that it's all left up to chance
But you can't undermine what you don't understand

What's that you say?
I know your young and I know your not afraid
What's that you say?
But when it's time to go is that what you'll say?
I'm not afraid
I fear the thought and you finally realize
All alone in your head, all alone inside
What's that you say?

So Cal Loco (party Like A Rockstar)

Beautiful

Turning Japanese (The Vapors cover)

Party Like A Rock Star

I see those empty spaces wonderin' round and round
Talkin to themselves, talkin' to the ground
We all know we're 6 feet from our grave
But do you really care if your soul is saved

I knew a man who  was hanging on the edge
Fallin to his knees with every word he said
And then one day the miracle took
If not that empty space would have swollowed him up

I don't wanna think about it anymore
I don't wanna think about it anymore

I know sometimes it's hard to read between the lies
But there's a truth that sanity denies
Some people say that it's all left up to chance
But you can't undermine what you don't understand

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 think this song is about being young and everything now, but you really need to look ahead and think about your future. But people my age (teenagers) "don't wanna think about it anymore" so "when it's time to go" it'll be too late to try and change things, how you acted or what you did, or whatever. Yes, you're not afraid, do you really care if your soul is saved? So basically about what it'll be like when we look back before dying and see that all the stuff we avoided thinking about really matters.
