A Known Place Lyrics

Are you alive or are you dead. Do you know what the fuck you are. I don't know what's going on. I don't know who I really am. Whoever knows what they are, knows nothing at all. We all have one thing in common - nothing. But you know one thing for sure - your fucking place. What's your race. What's your sex. What's your rank. What's your fucking serial number. What are you. Am I right or wrong. Not properly defined, am I alive or Am I dead.

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.

Im pretty sure this song is about being confined to one or more charateristic or label, and how these characteristics and labels are used to define us. Fucking crazy screams in this too, that guy must have blown out his vocal chords.
