Mercury Is Clearly Opposing Neptune Lyrics

you don't know how many times
her eyes fix on you
with a concentrating stare

so close to getting inside
she is swimming through
not really going anywhere

and you will never know (you will never know)
you will never know

she is retreating again
unable to feel this much
so close to hiding away
and you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay

you don't know how many times
she has read your words
that she was not supposed to read

and you don't know how she can wear
all her feelings on her sleeve
there for anyone to see

and you will never know (you will never know)
you will never know

she is retreating again
unable to feel this much
so close to hiding away
and you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay
you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay

someday perhaps she might see
all your secrets revealed
someday
someday
someday

dodododo..

she is retreating again
unable to feel this much
so close to hiding away
but you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay
you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay

dodododo..

you don't know how many times 
her eyes fix on you 
with a concentrating stare

so close to getting inside 
she is swimming through
not really going anywhere

and you will never know (you will never know)
you will never know

she is retreating again 
unable to feel this much
so close to hiding away 
and you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay

you don't know how many times 
she has read your words
that she was not supposed to read

and you don't know how she can wear 
all her feelings on her sleeve
there for anyone to see

and you will never know (you will never know)
you will never know

she is retreating again
unable to feel this much
so close to hiding away
and you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay
you're hopelessly hoping she'll stay

someday perhaps she might see 
all your secrets revealed
someday 
someday

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.
