Spun Lyrics

I live inside all invited inside
Eyes flutter feathers my hairs fair like weather
I've blown my recovery
Living is nice when you're spun like a kite
Sugar and tea and cream
Looks like the sea is green with rivalry
Now that I know just what you're all about I want out!
I live inside all invited inside
Sugar and tea and cream
Looks like the sea is green with reverie
Life is real when you're dreaming
Life's a dream when you're reeling
Now I want out

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.

it definatley sounds like drug abuse

the protagnoist is a drug addict. they try to quit this drug, but they take it anyways ("I've blown my recovery") .After the initial feeling of being high ("living is nice when you're spun like a kite"/"Life is real when you're dreaming"), the protagonist feels that they cannot take this anymore ("I WANT OUT!") and wishes they can quit easily

if you understand that, you're my hero

I agree with the first comment but also think that the phrase 'spun like a kite' is being used as a play on 'high as a kite'
