The Importance Of Dressing Well Lyrics

Is the diagnosis bad? I slept all day beside the TV on the floor beneath my bed. Could you come and check my mail? It seems you have forgotten how I should be noticed even when I'm feeling well. Still I can't tear night from day. The blankets have been knotted up to provide my getaway. But I pretend I'm not awake, just in case I end up cornered by your footsteps, trapped without a clean escape. You're too late to intervene. The compass has been set. Drew conclusions on my own. I needed more than rest. But it seems that I think best when I haven't even dressed. Sadly that's when no one is around.

If I pull my own self out, form a partnership with arrogance, build up my appearances, cater my acquaintances, learn that better businesses make progress on demand, then I'll be a healthy man. Just watch them cling to every word.

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.
