Definition Lyrics

As the world keeps on turnin’
My heart remains burnin’
And I must wonder
Is there any escape from being alone
Is there any shelter
Is there any home (cuz I’m 3000 miles from
home)
Is there any escape from being alone
Please lord won’t you give me some
meaning
A definition to what I’ve been feeling
Words can’t rationalize, years that I’ve
cried
Words don’t help me understand much
anyway
Please lord won’t you shed me some light
Cuz I’m just looking to feel all right
sometimes
I lose my mind, I lose my life, I lose you
And you are my everything

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.
