Fear Of Motion Lyrics

To be afraid of the unknown
Don't turn your back on me
Control is never full
Please follow my orders

Fear of motion, unable to function
I need you as much as you need me
The clash will be as chaotic as you want it
So make a meal and keep moving forward

Fear of motion
Unable to function
Fear of motion
Unable to function

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.

That second verse is very wrong. It goes more like this:

I need you as much as you need me The clash will be as chaotic as you want it Sound only exists if you want them to [I think...] So make them real and keep moving forward

Awesome song though, one of their best b-sides I reckon.
