Nothing But Song Lyrics

Now we started from
A background thing find diffusing
If I'm not on
I'll make this home

Back loose this faceless trip you'll induce that face all around
In every strung hold up commune

Anyone
Anyone

I'll be gone 'til I'm gone
Whatever it takes
To break this song in
Let these agents come and trace me
I'll be gone
Til I'm gone

Am I to blame
The room of wrong and illusions
Keeps me sane
Nothing but song

I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
Whatever it takes
To break this song in
Let these agents come and trace me
Said I'll be gone
Til I'm gone

I'll be gone
'til I'm gone
Whatever it takes
To break this song in
let these agents come and trace me
Said I'll be gone
Til I'm gone

With all its question assuming
The songs make what were all about
An agent form wont get you me
Everyone
Everyone

I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
whatever it takes to break this song in
let these agents come and trace me
Said I'll be gone
Til I'm gone

I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
Whatever it takes
To break this song in
Let these agents come and trace me
I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
Whatever it takes
To break this song in
Let these agents come and trace me
I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
whatever it takes
To break this song in
Let these agents come and trace me
Said I'll be gone
Til I'm gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone

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 think it's a song about how she feels when writing a song.

I love it! Especially the voicesamples in the back. It's great.

I'm afraid you got it all wrong, FeyTH, as it makes no sense.

I like this transcription:

And we started from A background they find amusing If I'm not gone I'll make this home

Let loose this faceless tribune Induce that place all our own In every strong hold or commune Anyone, anyone, anyone

[Chorus] I'll be gone 'til I'm gone Whatever it takes to break this longing Let these ancient tones replace me Said I'll be gone 'til I'm gone

Am I to blame The womb of wrong and illusion What keeps me sane Nothing but song

[Chorus]

With all it's questions assuming Verse of mine we're all among And ageng from all cosuming Everyone, everyone, everyone

[Chorus x 4]
