The Novice Lyrics

I have lost myself, can't control myself, feeding on myself, bleeding on myself, lying to myself, dying within myself, trying to shed myself, so to erase myself, waiting for something to awake me, you leave me with no choice but to Self-medicate to recreate. Strip the mind to redefine. Manipulate to stimulate. Crucify to purify. The Shadows come alive to the Novice's eye as his ego struggles to keep him aligned. We expose our souls to insanity as we reach in search of divinity. My Novice I hold you responsible and I cannot change the inevitable. I must question my existence to make sense of this. My novice I can't control this you must find your way. You have become a part of this we are just the same. Now lie still and...Self-medicate to recreate. Strip the mind to redefine. Manipulate to stimulate. Crucify to purify.

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.

This song has to be about someone who has just snapped. They have let everything bottle up and fuck with them and now they are like killing themselves over it all.
