Thoughts Lyrics

thoughts right now
i picked up a magazine
ohh here we go
fifteen hundred years,
fifteen hundred years right here
burning witches, burning books
burning babies and their looks

yes, indeed
burning everything that's sacred in my jeans

thoughts right now
she's been everybody else's girl
thoughts right now
now...
thoughts right now
right now
am i here
am i here
never here...
i'm never here
i'm never here
i'm never here
never a bird
or a flower in the tree
or the pain of the respect thereof
yes, indeed!

thoughts right now
what will become of me?
become of her?
become of we, baby?
yeah...

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.

This was an improv, during the recording of LE right? She kept screwing up 'Girl' so they took a break and she just started playing this.

I don't actually think it means anything. I think it's a subconscious thing, like what she's thinking and she's just singing it and it actually makes sense. Sort of. If it DID have a meaning, I think it's just a very random, very disconnected social commentary.

I think it's talking about the fate of her song "girl" considering that it includes part of "girl"'s lyrics and that she refers to her songs as her babies, which may be why she makes an analogy from songwriting to giving birth "what's sacred in my jeans". What will become of her and the girl in the song "Girl" and both of them together, where is she in life, etc.
