Southie Lyrics

naked
and i let go on myself
i let this go too long
far along
and i let go of myself
blood beads like water again
in the midst of our love
girl you've got to hold my hands
sing to me of the stones being thrown
hold my hands
naked
and i let go on myself
i let this go too long
far along
have i let go of myself
i'm not fretting
but its safe to say
somebody got away with my memories again
this time...again
girl you've got to hold my hands
sing to me all the stones being thrown
hold my head

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.

In my opinion, this is a perfect representation of "The Rescue" as a whole. As for the song, it's definitely about love. Awesome song, go see codeseven. Takes guts to stay indie nowadays.

i think he's talking about overextending himself, and needing someone else to support him before he completely collapses. however, i also get the feeling that the person to whom he is looking for comfort is part of the problem... "i let go of myself" - "sing to me all the stones being thrown" ...i think perhaps she is the reason for the stones, but if she loves him, then it doesn't matter.
