Listen Lyrics

Well I wonder do we learn
Seems we're making the same wrong turn
Call you sacred
Call you obscene
Call you faithless
Call you anything
Call and you listen

[Chorus]
Listen
Listen
Listen

I'm a liar so it seems
My desire could justify everything
So is there nothing that lies in between
This cold silence and a scream

Scream

[Chorus]

Caught in the headlights
We are frozen
Can not hide
There's no break

There is no time
If you can
I might listen

Call and you listen

[Chorus]

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.

Calling out to his fellow brother. He wants to reach his brother, so he can warn him.

I always viewed it as a relationship going wrong... You realize something's not working, and you mutually agree to work things out, but no matter what, you just keep doing the same things over again, with no improvement.
