Jellyfish Genes Lyrics

why sell yourself short
when you can have anything you want
I want the mind of a brilliant man
I'll take the wings of a hummingbird

I love the options presented
I think it's fantastic fantastic
I love the options presented
I think it's fantastic

they say DNA makes us who we are
give me jellyfish genes
so I can glow in the dark

why sell yourself short
when you can be everything that you want
I'd like the mind of the brilliant man please
I'll take the wings of a hummingbird

I love the options presented
I think it's fantastic fantastic
I love the options presented
I think it's fantastic fantastic

they say DNA makes us who we are
give me jellyfish genes
so I can glow in the dark

I want to glow
I want to glow

I used to think that I was born to stay the same
until I found out that they could engineer my problems away
I used to think that I was born to say this way
until I found out that they could engineer my imperfections away

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.
