An Aptly Fictional Description Lyrics

And it was so contradictory yet deliberately put never should we start a lecture with a quote- Two-tone stage background the actors returning home to eat food covered in nothing good served in purple plasticwear the orchestra isn't craving our attention it sparks the active chords and the stage is set ablaze the conductor lights a cigarette we look at illustrations of ourselves- The orchestra isn't craving just isn't craving out attention Appliances that would blow a fuse at any time while conducting an ancient family recipe to the very next generation- We never saw them coming we've been throwing stones at glass houses for too long It's such a cliché.

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.

No matter how hard you scream to the audience, to the record companies, to everyone involved, it still seems like it's not enough. The artists are still starving. The sarcastically named orchestra, the kids who think they know everything there is to know about the music they've been blessed with the privilege of hearing, they aren't craving 12's attention because they're all about the fashion and the scene of the music. It's so sad to think that they feel throwing stones at glass houses is no longer worth the effort, or maybe they do. maybe its people like me who truly appreciate them that keeps it going.

I think its about being in theatre in high school and being tired of it, the actors are literally actors, the ochestra is literally the ochestra, they are always indifferent and wrapped in their own conversation. It is just a discription of exactly what you see at any play
