The Drowned And The Saved Lyrics

Tell me what is left from life, if no sunrise lights your world? Can't believe you've been through all this pain, all this pain I know your eyes saw the same sky as i see today, You smelled the leaves, You felt the wind. I know they imprisoned your body, but how could they subdue Your thoughts? I know about the drowned and the saved. Where will be my side. Whose decision marks my path. Will i ever know the end I die again Now i'm one of you. No dream, that keeps me alive, no warmth reaches my skin. Their methods broke into My brain, took away my existence and even my name, Reduced me to numbers. When will this killingmachine breaking my spine? I know millions walk in and just a few will leave it behind. I've got no more power, i've got no more power Hope dies together with feelings, it dosn´t hurt anymore I know I'm one of the drowned.

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.
