Octopus Lyrics

Dive if you take her as your bride
When she's wrong would you swallow all your pride
You shouldn't want that at your age
No, you can't thrust and parry through your life
You can't solve all your problems with a sword fight
Swinging from a chandelier
Your tentacles are crushing me
I'll come out when the weather gets nice
I'll be damned if I'll make you my wife

You're wrong, it's not that I don't love you
I do; I'm too afraid to want you
You only like me when I'm going away
You're sweet when you wanna be
I'll come out when the weather gets nice
I'll be damned if I'll make you my wife

Your tentacles are crushing me
I'll come out when the weather gets nice
I'll be damned if I'll make you my wife
As bad as I want you, get real
I'm in love with your sex appeal, not you

Maybe someday I'll think of you and smile
I'll think of you and smile
I'll think of you and smile

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.

The "(?)" in the lyrics should be replaced with "thrust and parry". This is in relation to the sword fight reference in the next line.
