These Lines Are Not White Lyrics

down down down
i need to mow my lawn
just gimme some of your light
these lines are not white

crown need no crown
they respect me as i am down
just for a week dont fight
these lines are not white

thrown away
away , away , away
now im caught
delay , delay , delay

sorry sorry sorry
i wont tell you 'bout my glory
just listen please dont bite
these lines are not white

grandma dont cry
i never told you not to lie
just dont push cause i might
these lines are not white

thrown away
away , away , away
now im caught
delay , delay , delay

tell me what to say
today im feeling gray
today im feeling great
these lines are not hate
light , light , light
these lines are not white
these lines are not white

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.

Wow man, that's great.

I think it's like, this guy, who's coming to terms with what he is, so he can't see definites. He can see blacks, he can see whites, but he is confused when the "lines" are crossed somewhere in the middle. Because, perhaps, things aren't working out the way he wants, and he wants to alter a situation? He wants a definite answer, and when his lines are blurred, he can't seek it out. He needs answers, like me, in this situation.
