Negative Zero Lyrics

i'm looking in the mirror again
just a trend that begins with the step of a sin
no friend to insist on the common needs of a poet
infatuation with myself, i'm gonna blow it
everytime i see my face it's getting clearer
always sickened with myself because i'm hanging with the mirror
i've got a fear of what my vanity's gonna cost
in the end will i win a new set of skin
in the end i know you will go and i'll never see you again
apologize for every lie i've ever said
instead it's just a matter of wanting this kid to explode
i'm the only tune you know
you can't tune me out so just turn me
like the radio
i'm picking up your frequency
the dial's broke so you can't change me
i'm colorful like the sunset, kid
in the end will i win a new set of skin

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.
