Asphyxiate Lyrics

Dependance consumes. Controlled and distracted by a selfinflicted sickness. With every breath of the poison the habit intensifies and the attempt to stop weakens. Filth smoulders in the ashtray as you draw the vileness into your lungs. Killing yourself, subjecting others to the air that your smoke defiles. Cashing in on a cash crop, cashing in on your slow death for their financial gain. They create then feed a carcinogenic addiction that leads to selfdestruction. Cancer ravages the throat and lungs. A diseased heart fails. The pain was avoidable and yet this insanity is accepted as normal. The first genuine moments of remorse may be the last seconds of life. Coughing up blood, gasping for breath. Each one was a nail in your coffin. Inhale. Asphyxiate.

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.
