Chloroform Lyrics

I never thought you'd go so far chloroform
I never thought you'd go so far oh no
she's out cold now
I'm so alone now take that back please stephanie black
and don't be so torn by chloroform

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.

I can't believe there's no comments on incredible song! It might be my favorite on this entire album... I think I got the meaning the first time I listened to it. His girl would prefer being knocked out over him. "I never thought you'd go so far, yeah, chloroform." He's pissed. "She's out cold and I'm so 'lone now..." Gahh I love how Spoon can say so much in such simple lyrics. So raw and soulful.

Maybe she faked her own death to get attention from him but it just pushed him away. I like your interpretation better,.
