Goatfish Lyrics

Ripped out all the options,
busted broke still drunk on
hubris and the night before.
Mechanically destroying the self, pushing.
Annihilate, live in the vernacular.
Deconstruct through alcohol,
pacify with the liquid placebo.
Flatline of the cranium,
my only wish to destroy.
You just met the last motherfucker
who truly does not give a fuck…Goatfish

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.

yeah, ruin gets the idea, i'll clean it up a bit though. :P

it's about drinking yourself to death, and not giving a shit about the fact that you're dying.
