The Beginner Lyrics

And I have dozens of promises
Fragrant spots in the monitors
And I can keep my composure most times

And I'm not falling apart at the priceless
Points of the problems and crumble
Only when prompted to now

I'm breathing in the longest spring of my life

Tempted when I get tempted to lie
I'm a responsible neophyte
I like a journey all right
And everyone gets what they want
Everyone gets what they want all the time
Everyone gets what they want
Even me
Even me
Even me

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.

I think this is about entering a new stage in one's life, possibly spiritually. A neophyte is a novice or beginner, and in the Christian faith the term refers to a new convert. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but one of the acoustic guitars is playing the leitmotif from Edvard Grieg's Morning Mood, a theme often utilized in film and television when a character is waking up. There's also the mention of spring, the season in which life begins anew. I get the feeling the singer had been going through a rough period before but now he has a fresh, albeit stoic, outlook on life, This song has some of the most bittersweet music I've heard, particularly in the coda. I like the Nude Records version because that section lasts longer and the electric piano seems to have a little more grit.
