Mend These Trends Lyrics

Senseless seeings
Realised beings
Watch me, around here
A square there, but be near

What you are is measured in ways
I can't explain
Not always, at times that you may
Need explaining

Cuts through the air like
A bad light but not to spite
Hold up an old friend
And use him to mend these trends

Listen now, it's coming in loud
I can explain
It's just that I see what is plain
And you are safe

Mend these trends
Mend these trends
Mend these trends
Mend these trends

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.

One of the most beautiful songs I know... South had such a way of creating atmosphere and mood. Some people might find this song 'boring' because it doesn't have a loud chorus or anything. But that's why I like it. There are all these inflections in the music and in Joel's voice. It's mellow, it has meaning. It's gorgeous.
