Opiate Lyrics

you've been in my dreams serving as my opiate for quite some time. but existence is in the waking and my clock is harping four AM in a way so that i can just barely read it. so now social means tell you how to be, you gave me reasons for this place. you took your face and covered it with prosthetics so we'll never hear you say, "it's too scarred and bloody to be enough." we'll never hear sometimes new jersey. can i say i miss the past today? can i say i'm tired of the commercial way. well i can't say just focus on the true beauty that was you. and i can't hold back now and be denied of my opiate.

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.
