Your Genius Hands Lyrics

I have seen you shake
And I know what it cost you
I have heard your words
I am big on your noise
My eyes aren't big enough
'Cause I can't see your hands
I can't see what you hold
I am growin' now
As I watch you fade
Now I know what you know
And I'll break the chains that you have made
This chain you've made for me
Yeah, I will pull you down
I know I'll fail in style
I long to touch your genius hands
I am growin' now
As I watch you fade
Now I know what you know
And I'll break the chains that you have made
This chain you've made for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will pull you down
I know I'll fail in style
I will, I swear
I'm gonna shake your genius hands

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.

To me, this song is about what it's like to never be good enough for the people you really care about.
