TearJerk Lyrics

I FEAR THE FEAR THAT STALKS ME AN IRRITANT WHICH DWELLS AND THRIVES UPON THE THRESHOLD THAT DEFINES ALL MEANING AND I WAIT I FEAR THE FEAR I THAT HAUNTS ME I FEAR THE UNDEFINED MY NON-EXISTENCE I FEAR IT THE ABDUCTION OF MY UNDERSTANDING I'M JUST A SERVANT TO THE ENDURANCE OF DEATH I'M NOT DISPENSABLE BUT I CANNOT ESCAPE NATURES LAWS I'M NOT DISPENSABLE I'M AFRAID I NEED A REASON TO COMPENSATE I'M A CAPTIVE OF AFFLICTION

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.

There are a bunch of things I love about this band and all of them are encapsulated in this song - the title, the lyrics, the singing, the screaming, the intro, the syncopation ... Its not actually my favourite Grade song but its one you can really get into and feel it. If you like the screaming, try 'The Part You Left Out' by Planes Mistaken for Stars. The meaning? I think it speaks for itself.
