Carpe Diem Lyrics

Time how much have i wasted
i never grasped a clock
till he passed away
Greed rules what we make of ourselves
from the beggar to the chooser
who survives at the end of the trail
who has lived life to the fullest
ask yourself have i even breathed
or are we all riding life out
to tell the truth i'm in the backseat
now's the time to take a look
at what surrounds and embrace the hearts
of the ones in your life
spark the fire that will
torch the numbness inside
if you look to far ahead
you'll lose sight of today
Carpe Diem

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.

This is the perfect song to wake up to. Fucking awesome message. I can especially relate to "if you look to far ahead, you'll lose sight of today" It's so true. Seize the day, live for now. I love it.
