Inheritance Lyrics

Strange inheritance
a room of your own
strange inheritance
a room of your own
see the acrobats train hard
see the acrobats train hard
see how they practice
see how they practice
see how they practice
and fall

wherever we go
however we dress
"no" is no
"yes" is yes

Strange inheritance
a room of your own
strange inheritance
a room of your own
see the acrobats train hard
see the acrobats train hard
see how they practice
see how they practice
and fall

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.

I transcribed these lyrics the way I heard them (and all the other Ludus lyrics I've submitted, except Mother's Hour and Patient, which were printed on the lyric sheet for the 7" single). I think that "a room of your own" here obviously refers to Virginia Woolf's 1929 feminist essay "A Room Of One's Own" (which, BTW, is the same one where she tells a fictional story about "Shakespeare's Sister"). In this essay, Woolf stated: "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."
