Dead Serious Lyrics

I'm sure you hate me
I've been hated by the best
Just cause I don't
Fit in with the rest
I stand for freedom
That's a thought in all our minds
We'll stick together
Each one one of a kind
Respecting one another
Is our only chance
For us to live together
And take a solid stance
About our commitment
To our positive scene
Keeping a clear mind
Saying what we mean
WE'RE DEAD SERIOUS
ABOUT WHAT WE SAY
WE'RE DEAD SERIOUS
AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL STAY

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.
