We Don't Exist Lyrics

We don't exist
We eat our time
We don't resist
It's not alright

What I want out of this
What I need out of this
Cayenne, Cayenne, Cayenne, Cayenne

We don't exist
Night after night

What I want out of this
What I need out of this
Cayenne, Cayenne, Cayenne, Cayenne

We don't exist
Night after night
We fall apart
It's quite alright

What I want out of this
What I need out of this
Cayenne, (repeated)

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.

Good stuff: I think it's about things being backwards and negative but still looking for something good, like spices.
