Youth Overrided Lyrics

Voices keep me small
And tongue-tied to the wall
Breast-fed by the moon,
I've grown up too soon
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of he matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want to fear every dying year
Don't you dare tell me
I cannot be made to believe
That the rings under my eyes
Are really blessings in disguise
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want to fear every dying year
All these memories bailing out on me
Gone into the void
God must need them more anyway
Old and decided
Youth overrided
I just need something
I don't want tofear every dying year
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?
Heart is the mind of the matter
What's the matter?
Is your heart palpitating yet?

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.

@waynestaticx85 I really liked this album back in 2003. But now I'm realizing just how special it really is. I'm trying to analyze the lyrics more because they are really fucking amazing. I used to think this song was good. But now I'm kind of blown away after reading the lyrics. It's a lot better than good.
