Jump The Gun Lyrics

Another light in my eye shines brightly. And I cringe from the glare; did I really hear what I heard? Just come and see, you must be kidding. But it doesn't come a surprise for those who are used to it. I'm not used to it. Don't jump the gun, and start chasing a phantom. Don't jump the gun, empty praise of an anthem. Now that you're awake, look at what we've done now that you're awake. A question mark, a realization... That we're jumping the gun and we're pointing our fingers. All of our lives are at stake if you fight, you better pray you know what's right. So we brace for the blow and we beg you to stop, but you're taking this chance to show them who's on top.

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.
