Our Backs Are Turned Lyrics

Will someone take my eyes from me? And tell me what you see what lies ahead for me in this future, past, and present? Before the bricks start to crumble and the walls come crashing down. Just back away and let it take it's toll. We'll make this fucking last one more time. We'll put it underneath our feet. I'm sick of hiding, so listen to my empty heart. My chin is raised high into the air. WE'LL TEAR THIS MOTHER FUCKER TO THE GROUND. When you can't put it behind you, when your head's down. WE'LL STILL BE SREAMING. Bury my heart before it will turn black. Can you, (this time), help me to see the end of the road? You are not alone in this empty world.

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.
