Is It Lyrics

Something needs to take your mind off this,
something's gotta shine a light,
Is it everything that you've ever wanted?
Is it still not quite?
A giant shadow's been cast on your outlook,
that something needs to help you shake
Is it everything that you've ever dreamed of?
Is it or is it fake?

Is it? I'm only asking
Is it? No need to reply
Is it coming at you now?
Or is it going by?

Something needs to snap you out of this
Something needs to set you free
Is it what you hoped for?
I hope it is and hope it never happens to me
A giant shackle's been locked, making matters
much worse than you'd rather they'd be
Is it all you've ever asked for?
Is it or isn't maybe?

Is it? I'm only asking
Is it? No need to respond
Is it right in front of you?
Or is it way beyond?

Is it time for the ever after?
I believe it's tough to find
Is it ending in disaster?
Are you ahead? Are you way behind?

Is it? I'm only asking
Is it? If you don't mind
Is it right in front of you?
Are you ahead or are you way behind?
Is it?!

Something needs to take your mind off this,
something's gotta shine a light,
Is it everything that you've ever wanted?
Is it still not quite?
A giant shadow's been cast on your outlook,
that something needs to help you shake
Is it everything that you've ever dreamed of?
Is it or is it fake?

Is it? I'm only asking
Is it? No need to reply
Is it coming at you now?
Or is it going by?

Something needs to snap you out of this
Something needs to set you free
Is it what you hoped for?
I hope it is and hope it never happens to me
A giant shackle's been locked, making matters
much worse than you'd rather they'd be
Is it all you've ever asked for?
Is it or isn't maybe?

Is it? I'm only asking
Is it? No need to respond
Is it right in front of you?
Or is it way beyond?

Is it time for the ever after?
I believe it's tough to find
Is it ending in disaster?
Are you ahead? Are you way behind?

Is it? I'm only asking
Is it? If you don't mind
Is it right in front of you?
Are you ahead or are you way behind?
Is it?!

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.
