One Hundred Percent Of Nothing Lyrics

i tried to analyze and understand
rationalize and comprehend
i'm trying but i'm failing now
i need the common sense
i've lost along the way, or never had
it's obviously gone
i tried to compromise and spread it thin
i played the odds and lost it all
i'm sinking too fast to call out
you'll never hear me crying
i tried to go your way, what can i say
i guess i never wanted it or wanted to be
the way you wanted it for me
i wish i could have given it to you
i guess we'll have to wait and see
give me some time away and let me sleep on it
i have a long life still ahead of me
for now i'll start with an apology
cause i admit it, i regret it
now i'm on the outside
of the circle
i thought i'd be in
go on this way
i'll never make it through
i'll rip a thousand parts into a million pieces, i've spread myself thin
and nothing is getting done

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.
