Code Red Lyrics

code red, she screamed
as the gun fell from her hands
i don't deserve this
go away, let me be
by myself for awhile
what have i done
i'm so lonely
she rages in an unpadded room
for the thrill
i hate you, get the hell out
i didn't mean that
i love you, stay for awhile
do you forgive me
fuck you (cover it up)
i didn't mean that
i'm sorry i go crazy sometimes
i love you so much
i hate you (cover it up)
i didn't mean that
i don't know you put up with me
get out of my life
code red
two words that sum up our lives sometimes
a panicked sense we all know
no one takes the blame
no one deserves the blame
it's just something that happens

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.
