Aspiration Lyrics

It?s a broken house: bloody handprints on the wall, ghosts out in the hall; that?s where mama lives. I can still hear her calling out my name. I'm sorry mom. I didn?t mean to hurt you like I did. I always wanted to make a change. Always offered the worst in me: all my hate, all my anger, all my self-loathing. You can?t go wrong if you bring love. I'm a broken man. Blood on my hands. Ghosts out in the hall. Just ignore them all, but I still hear them. No I can?t hear her. I won?t die hear. Time to fight. Time to be a better man.

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.
