Opening Doors (at the Point of a Sword) Lyrics

Don’t you think we need…don’t you think we need a break so bad?
Don’t you think we’re on…don’t you think we are on the edge of something so good?
I’m tired of waiting for… I’m tired of waiting for the change you’ve promised me
Beyond these lines drawn, beyond these borders
Whose side are you on? You do not have to choose
Dead weight in a trance. Wool is pulled over your eyes
If you’re not careful anymore
Opening those doors opened at the point of a sword
There’s reason for alarm

Don’t you think we need…don’t you think we need a break so bad?
Don’t you think we’re on…don’t you think we are on the edge of something so good?

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.
