It's Almost a Trap Lyrics

Steal all the chandeliers down your street and call it romance. Stop kissing all the neighbours that your brother meets, don’t promise it’s chance. And I’ve been saying later lately, so I’ll colour a map. I’ll lead you to the mountains we’ll meet, it’s almost a trap

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.

this song is temporarily stuck in my head. i wish it was longer, then the repeat button wouldn't be so fleeting

anyways, i think this song is describing all the silly things people do for love/or the like, to give that illusion of love or being needed. hence all the ridiculous things done such as stealing chandeliers in an act of romance, indulging in lust and kissing whoever will kiss you back, and tricking the people we love into loving us back. i may WAY off though. lol, frankly it's hard to tell with just four lines.

i agree with you jadedgypsy. especially with the line "stop kissing all the neighbours that your brother meets" it just sounds like shes so desperate for love that she will kiss anyone. anyways, i love this song.
