Insects Lyrics

Hindered by innocence
The timid turn to prey
Swallowed in her smile
Unaware
Turning ears deaf to pain
Willing and weak are one in the same
Watch as your rapid seasons start to change
All of the seasons that fought you
All of the reasons that got you here in the first place

Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind

Injuries strain from her perfect art of guile
Swindling her space
In despair
Shed a tear of mock sincerity
Condescending hearts can display
Cracks as your zone if comfort starts to fray
Humbling to sit back and watch through
All of the actions that got you
Clearly no mercy

Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind

Through patience I'm viewing from outside
Such a shame your pride
Left you in a state of pure denial

Love in time grows stagnant
The innocence we have lost
New grains of time will not rewind

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.

Don't really like this song too much, but it's obviously about the fate of your typical romantic relationship. Starts out fresh and amazing, you're in love, but eventually the passion just fades away and you get bored of her/she gets bored of you, and then you can't stand each other anymore. All the while you lose months/years of your life while you're together. Makes you wonder if you would have been better off never getting involved in the first place.

But better to have loved and have lost, than never to have loved at all, right?

someone is letting the other person in the relationship control them and the relationship completely, like they're just some toy.its like in an abusive relationship where the person is hurting them but they still stay.

Its about that they're the reason you break up but they wont admit it, and they'll keep holding on. Imo.

I love this song. It's incredible. All of the lines are pure poetry. Not sure I agree, not all love grows stagnet and dies. But time never goes back, no matter how hard you wish.
