OPEL Lyrics

For many years I collected leaves
Blown down from ancient trees
Among the words I caressed
Found me alone at last

My books put Prospero to shame
And the words I knew so well
Would have damned me all the same
Seductive and sweet it was..

Shadows cast from a fate
They were waiting for me all the same
All the madness
Incantations..

Allo of those many voices
Seductive and sweet it was..

Unto these hands a stone
A mirror to my soul
Such a stone as this
My sweet opel

And to your books again
Whoah I've seen them open
May you find your way
Through them carefully

And what you see of me
Is the mirror of a stone
My sweet opel

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.
