Someday I'll end it all Lyrics

I'd paint the walls bright red with a gun and my head
If I thought it would send me to you
And as our thoughts explode we'll be older than old
And they'll find me in tangles with you
They will find me in tangles with you
And the time will pass slower than you might guess
It's the same nothing has happened to you
You will always be sunlight dappled on leaves
There are things about you I can't recall
There are things about you I can't recall
I'd paint the walls bright red with a gun and my head
If I thought it would send me to you
And as our thoughts explode we'll be older than old
And they'll find me in tangles with you
They will find me in tangles with you

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.

Does anyone else listen to Nineteen Forty-Five? They are absolutely incredible, this album means so much...it's so raw and flawed and powerful. This is an explicit, heartbreaking song.
