These New Friends Of Yours... Lyrics

These new friends of yours
Speak of ashes and dust
Where are they taking us?
Feels like the end but we’re justbeginning

These new friends of yours
Won’t show their faces to me
They stand in shadows
But I can see they’re always near

And I’ve no time for them
Can we leave them behind?
We’ll lose them in the sunshine

Standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won’t you listen?
Why won’t you listen?

These new friends of yours
Speak of ashes and dust
Where are they taking us
Feels like the end but we’re just beginning

And I’ve no time for them
Can we leave them behind?
We’ll lose them in the sunshine

Standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won’t you listen?
Why won’t you listen?
Listen

Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

They teach you to dim
All the bright spots in your life
Steer into the dark and imagine
How bad it could be
Could be

I’m standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won’t you listen?
Why won’t you listen?
I’m standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won’t you listen?
Why won’t you listen?
Listen

These new friends of yours
Speak of ashes and dust
Where are they taking us?
Feels like the end but we’re justbeginning

Won’t show their faces to me
They stand in shadows
But I can see they’re always near

And I’ve no time for them
Can we leave them behind?
We’ll lose them in the sunshine

Standing right here,
Saying the nicest things
Why won’t you listen?
Why won’t you listen?

Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do

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.
