A Cold Kiss Lyrics

Of a dying breed and a decaying seed
We've been watching for years
Waiting for it to bleed
Handshakes and contracts
Just before they turn their backs
We've played along for far too long
We've played along for far too long
We'll lay this town to waste
We'll leave you with a bitter taste
A long road no closer to home
Long road and we know we're still alone
We've played along for far too long
We hope you listen to at least this song
Nothing but traces
Countless empty faces
With black lips
The cold kiss
Of rejection

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.

This song could possibly mean about family. When he was growing up he was just waiting for his family to turn their backs on each other, he was waiting for his family to split up, and it's like they've been playing a game and so far they've lost and he's hoping that they will one day open up their eyes to see what's happening.
