Rainroom Lyrics

We saw it all pass by and you went by and
I can't control anything when you said that
life can't be what you want and I really want
everything that I pray when I believe I saw it end
long before it ended life itself turned pale and
ended I saw you cry out acres of your image life
itself does not heal me like a slow scenery i'm
losing all my faith in lifeless motion you're
walking like you're dead we saw it all pass by
and you went by and I can't control anything
when you said that life can't be what you want
and I really want everything

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.

Another amazing track. Mikael Akerfeldt adds a lot to the Brave Murder Day album, and it's totally shown in this song.

It's about a guy who's crying out to God for making a world in which we can't ever be fully satisfied and also about mortality. As a result, the guy in the song is slowly losing his faith.
