I Never Want To See You Again Lyrics

I know the ether can never claim the earth
Atmospheric gasses cannot remain with dirt
We purchase pleasure, and pay for it with hurt
And we rarely get our money's worth
See how we grasp at the stars ?
They're so far away
You can't even see what's right in front of you
Flesh wounds heal
Broken bones mend
But you're not my friend
I never want to see you again...
I never want to see you again...

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.

I really like this song. It's one of the Quasi songs thaat really developes as it goes on. It starts out one way, but by the end it's something completely different. In the lyrics, though; they start with this one idea "atmospheric gasses cannot remain with dirt," then it moves into another idea, this idea that you grasp at the stars but they're too far away, then the lyrics move almos to the idea at the beginning. "I never want to see you again"- "Atmospheric gasses cannot remain with dirt."

Sam also makes great use of falsetto in this song. He does really great stuff with his voice, switching between his normal voice and his falsetto so fluently...
