Knee Jerk Reaction Lyrics

you are the only one who feels the wind that bends you all directions. do you live inside a hurricane? reflex and break up. your mind is made up. is it your own expression, "i'm in a constant panic." you guess that i should get out because you don't like art anymore. and anymore i don't care. i don't want to know, and you don't want to say, why it is you're so afraid. is it commitment? is it collaboration? is it your own expression; your emotion, your beauty? or is it just your faults? you know what i'm all about with just a single word. am i so blunt to speak out? you don't want to know, and i don't want to say, what it is that's in a name.

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've met John Meridith. He's a genius, pure and simple. If the web site is still running, you can find his explainations for these incredible songs. Even the back stories read like poetry. Why'd you leave us so soon John? (This song's about a band he was kicked out of because the other guy thought he was too "arty". Looks like that ass needs to look up and live.)
