System Lyrics

Sys...tem...
Sys...tem...
Sys...tem

You fell away,
What more can I say?
The feelings evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace
your screaming face
feeling the sickness inside

Chorus:
Why wont you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine

So many words
Cant describe my face
This feelings evolved
So soon to break out
I can't relate
To a happy state
Feeling the blood run inside

Chorus

Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to what you think I should be
must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?
Keep on trying, I'm not dying so easily (I will not die)

Why is everything so fucking hard for me? (I will not die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me? (I will not die)

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 had heard that LP was gonna be doing a song for the Queen of the Damned soundtrack,the first time I heard this song I was blown away by it,the lyrics are by far the best. Since this song is on a soundtrack for a vampire movie you could say that it's like Chester is the vampire and he's singing to the victim when he is singing the chorus and he's singing about all problems you have when you are different form the world,and the feelings you have for the people who make you feel different. I'm just putting in what I feel the song is about.

I imagine Chester singing as a vampire with his incredibly awesome voice to his victim. It really relates to the inner conflict of the Rock Vampire in the movie/book.
