Beijing (Too Many Pepole) Lyrics

If you look at it the right way. You're not twisted. You're holding. You try so hard to push it away. It was always in the right place. Your shaded heart, cool and colored. Your image bleeds oceans. Two arms grown close and pulled away. We will all bleed in the right shades of too many people. Too many people, so many people in this world. Oil, canvas color. Paint me a picture, tonight. You stand there I'm so afraid. You said you knew me. And I know what goes on when you're away. It's the one place to lose me. In too many people. Too many people, so many people in this world. Oil, canvas color. Paint me a picture tonight. (Around running around).

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.
