Negativity Breeds Only Hostility Lyrics

Science tells us that every action in this world has and equal but opposite reaction. Spreading hatred and violence will bring you only sorrow and pain. You will die bitter angry and alone. Shunned by your peers. Distained by the family your heart. Or rather your lack thereof. Pushed away long ago. The black seeds of bigotry pessimism and elitism festered in your soul. Choking out all that makes life worth living. The joy of an unburdened heart and spirit. You'll never understand. You'll never realize. You'll never be a part. You'll never truly live. Somehow you find a way. To put down everything. Around you. No matter what it is. Somehow you feel the need. To build yourself up. By tearing others down. I just don't understand what goes through your head. And what kind of fire you feed. It's not so hard. To look on the bright side. And keep from falling down. Negativity. Breeds only hostility.

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.
