Messiah Complex Lyrics

I saw the world die a little today. Just to feel the wealth of the decay. Just so you can know what it feels like, what tears taste like. We owe it all to the sickness inside. We owe it all to the fears we've learned to hide. We belong where traitors can touch the divine. Where the unforgiven can send us a sign. Was it the symptom or was it the sickness? Or was one last try our only weakness? Tears stinging down your cheek, drowning face first. A haven for the wretched, the cursed. Only the lonely. We belong where fires can seer this from our eyes.

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.
