Ethan's Song (slackers) Lyrics

I love you but I hate you
Which brings to mind how much I love you
We could have worked this out you know
In a little room, in a little locked room
I'm sorry you had to settle for Dave,
the one dimensional man
He's filed under cocker sucker in my little black book
Sweetness can rot your teeth
Bittersweet can cough on me
But you hold the key, you hold the key
to my little locked room,
you hold the key, you hold the key
to my little locked world
Please let me out soon "I lo you"

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.

The line's acutally "Bittersweet cacophony".
