implications of a sinkhole personality Lyrics

standing there with your ethics. you're just standing there. standing there, mouth agape. your ethics like a rewound tape. where were you when you became this? shocked individual with self-assured face. do you understand that look in your eyes? conscious of reality buried under your glue-on morals, nervous system strung out on self-service. but raised eyebrows don't seem to make it better. my raised eyebrows.

see yourself in others.
be yourself through others.
hate yourself in others.
kill yourself in others.

my fingers are so pointed, though.

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 feel this song talks about being fake, and not being who you truly are as well as using others to support that.. "see yourself in others, be yourself through others..."
