Anyway Lyrics

i awake... and i look...
down at my sleeping face
from the cold...
persuading melodies
want me to join this...
unreal dance
an unholy humming
that echoes and dies

can i resist...
be torn into laughter
and can i persist
being torn into light
they want me to join this...
unreal dance
that forces my mind
just to follow thy will

anyway...
any way must lead out into me
anyway i can't go on crawling
anyway, i must get rid of it all...

endless halls... dancing shades
spinning round
twisting their skinny limbs
stench of doom i smell...
they want me to join this...
unreal dance
and don't want to offer me...
any further chance

careworn... down torn...
into the swirl of their senselessness...
cosy emptiness...
it wants me to join this...
unreal dance
left alone... anywhere you go...
you'll be caught in your fear again

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 interperated this as a song about mental illness, possibly depression, or strong urges to do something that you believe is wrong. My friend understood it as a song about zombie-esque dancers in a club (similar to "Wundervoll"), who just pull you into their dance and you get swept away by the music into mechanical motions that you have no enjoyment for, maybe even a panic at all the bodies around you.
