An Assassin Lyrics

I don't want to tell you
Where feelings don't reside
By myself I keep by this one design
Wondering just kicked about
Fell on to the ill I couldn't hide
The patience is giving up ya
Shocked on you
So the veins are running black
When I say I understated
Devoted to wasting time
Eluding what's on your mind
I don't want to tell you
Lost all my dreams
I found out someone's gonna trip me
Dim and slight
Wait and see

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.

Cover art for An Assassin lyrics by Sea and Cake, The

it really seems, considering the song is titled, the assassin, that it's about caring for someone who you know doesn't feel the same way. just wants to spend time with that person, and doesn't want to face the reality that they aren't "together"

Devoted to wasting time, eluding what's on your mind.
