Vertigo Lyrics

This is the note on the brick through your window. No, it’s more like the burning Lexus on your front lawn…just more thinly veiled. We’re going off like a race riot. So take the double A’s out of the smoke alarm for the TV remote. We won’t wake up. We won’t wake up, but if we do, we’ll tell the kids a half version of the truth. It’s best not to think about it. The 10 o’clock news is screaming that the town is on fire. Everyone knows it. The advertisers are laughing all the way to the blood bank and you’re just the punch line. Look the other way. Repeat. Repeat.

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.
