400 a.d. Lyrics

you said you couldn't be it
you said the time was bad
our lives shouldn't entwine
what happened, you asked
it isn't good for me
i'm not ready now
you're not gonna wait
so you'd better move on
so now i've layed you in a box
on a piece of tissue paper
all my crumpled memories
the good ones and the bad
i closed the box shut tight
tied it with a string
put it on a shelf at the back of my mind
i'll never let you out
thats not what i planned
i'll keep my eyes closed tight to miss
your smile and your heart
whenever i see you
alone or with her
pease don't be surprised if
i blink and walk away

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.
