Lizaveta Lyrics

Lizaveta, we stood together in the pissing rain. Your skin was showing through your shirt. You said, "Lover, let's run for cover." I said, "Lover, wait. Stay here and I'll give up all I'm worth." It's good... we desire disorder. With this design, we're all born our own destroyer. In that evil hour, without defense, be sensetive. You were born to live. Attraction lures the sot to drink, to all his troubles drown. But when his legs give way, he falls, and attraction keeps him down. In that evil hour, without defense, be sensetive. We were born to live.

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.

Really great song. I always thought it was "The traction leads the sod..." and "The traction keeps him down," but I don't have access to my CD insert, so I suppose I'm probably wrong. Truly a quality band, though.
