Cut The Strings Lyrics

This is frustration. This is me. Using the same tricks. Using the same tricks. I'm getting sick it. This is me throwing these hands against the wall, hoping something will stick; this is awful. Awful to think who decides what should or should not stay. What ends up on the cutting room floor? Apparently, it’s not my, it’s not my choice to make. So here’s another one, is it good enough? Please do accept. I need this so. If it’s not up to par I’ll just appease and conform to your taste....yeah. I just can’t think, of what I might do next. Let’s forget about who we are, it gets in the way. Let’s forget who we used to be. We’ll never be the same. So here’s another one, is it good enough? Is it good enough? Please do accept. I need this so. I need this. This is frustration.

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.
