In Light of Recent News Lyrics

What's wrong with you
Cutting ties, but I stick like glue
I'm not supposed to be real
But love is such an awful thing to lose

What's wrong with you
No one wins but we always lose
I'm not supposed to be

Marked for death and fleeting
But love is such an awful thing to
Lose yourself in everything you
Do is trite in light of recent news

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.

Cover art for In Light of Recent News lyrics by Outline, The

by AFKpirate

The Outline packed a few different genres of music into You Smash It We'll Build Around It, and that makes it hard for me to pick a favorite off this CD, but this is the song I would pick. I'm not really sure, but what I get from this song is that his girlfriend lost someone close to them and is shutting him and everyone else out of her life after the tragedy. This song is really beautiful, and it really kicks off at 3:45 and is great from there to the end, even with no lyrics.
