Reflections On Milkweed Lyrics

once again
Iï¿½m riddled with the task of perpetuating my thoughts
back to the foundation
in which my paranoia was forged
so i long the thoughts of end
solely secluded--its a lie.
to each his own, or so Iï¿½ve been told
along the scenes past,
a journey never ending:
this tiresome moment annulled.
why then, do i have mass beliefs and opinions
that do not come from wit of my mind, soul or heart
courage and strength are shields of which ive never bore in the battle of wills and mightï¿½s of mortal men
coming down
so content with delirium in the fetal position
Iï¿½ve lost my will to fight,
drained my will to live
die before my time
sink slowly
i will rise
sinking

i will never travel brandishing a sharp tongue at a fear piercing my own heart.

a glimpse of motion
i perceived in journey

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.

im not entire sure peretrobating is a word.

but i do hear him say "perpetrating" which also makes sense in that context.

and also "out of fear of piercing my own heart"

but all in all im down.

I think he says something to the extent of "If I want it I'll take it/(indecipherable to my ears)/you're all the same!" in closing. Song reminds me a lot of I'm Back Sleeping or Fucking or Something by Moss Icon.

The lyric is definitely "I have been riddled with the task of retrograding my thoughts."
