Hysterical Bending Lyrics

Hysterical bending
Can't speak
Hysterical woman
Screams I think
A head holds the bending
A woman can't be helped
This river runs
Like water through hell
What am I doing on a mountain
Green water to flame
This trance says
I can't be contained
Tributaries fly
Hold this solid
Melt this solid
Rain rain
A girl's body is solid
How do I melt
How do I melt
Without dying
Hysterical woman
Can't speak
Hysterical woman
Screams I think
This river runs
Like water through hell
What am I doing on a mountain
I hate the rain
This trance says
I can't be contained
Fly babies fly
Hold this solid
Melt this solid
Rain rain

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.
