Flipside Lyrics

When society's incompetent and everybody's got you down
When your girlfriend's pissed off at you, you don't know when she'll come around
Opportunity's slipping through your fingers otherwise you haven't gotta shot
Reality's restraining your inspiration and that's the only thing you got

We ask ourselves
We ask ourselves

Questions without answers to your problems that control your life
Advice you're seeking, answers you're needing to dodge your reality one last time
So what if society's incompetent? When was the last time they were right?
So what if everyone's got you down? Don't go down without a fight
Try making it up to your girlfriend or at least do what you feel is right
We both know reality sucks, but don't let it ruin your whole life.

Questions that don't need answers to your problems that are in your mind
Advice you thought out, Answers you threw out to live with reality and go on with life

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.
