You'll See Lyrics

You'll see you, you'll see
You'll see, you'll see
You'll see the place where you'll die and
You'll see where you want to be
Every place you go
You'll see places you know
You'll see, you"ll see
You'll fall and die
And then, yeah, on a place alone
I hope so
You'll rust, you'll rust, you'll rust and sleep
You'll rust, you'll rust, you'll rust and sleep
The places you'll go
You'll see you know
You'll see you know
You'll see you know
You'll see you know
You'll see you know
You'll see you owe your friend
You'll see you are your friends and
You'll see you are the place you live in
You'll see you know
You'll see you know
You'll see you know you are the friends that you met
And you are
You know, you know
You know you owe and you know, you know
You know you are the place you live in and who you met
And I can
You'll see, you'll see you're nowhere
You'll see, you'll see you're nowhere
You'll see you are my army
You'll see you now you knowing
You'll see when you die knowing
On the last second of life you see well
You'll see you are your mother
You'll see you are your father
You'll see you are your friends
Are all the same that you live in
You'll see or you need it
You'll see anything you want to
You'll see you are all the people who you ever met and
You'll see you are all the people
You loved your life you hate it now
You'll see all you needed I know what you meant
And you'll see
In the last second of your life
You'll see who you are
They'll show you how it works
They'll show you how it works and you'll see
You'll see you're all you needed
You'll see you know you got it
Youll see your family sitting down ugly just like they were
You'll see a human being
You'll see the breeding cousins
You'll seee the things you wanted
You'll see you hate not loved it
You'll see why you ran over
Youll see why you were the only one talking
You'll see why you were walking
You'll see why you were working
You'll see why you were thinking
You'll see why you went to see the movie
You'll see why you were listening
Youll see why you were taking a photo of me
You'll see why you were standing
You'll see why you were waiting
You'll see why you were looking out at the trees and
You'll see you need a part job
You'll see you'll be a part of
You'll see you are a part of all of your city
You'll see you were a one step
You'll see you blamed the wrong folks
You'll see you sat on your head
You'll see you mean to love
And youll see you need to die
And you'll see why you were waiting
You'll pace around this building
You'll pace around this planet
You drive around for hours
You never take no showers
You take a million showers
You'll breathe your mother's blood
And you'll bleed your own blood
And you'll breathe a poor man's air
You'll see why you weren't thinking
You'll see why you weren't doing
You'll see
You'll see
You'll see
You'll see

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 don't gurantee complete accuracy, but I've sat down to listen to this song a lot. Here's the best I could get for what he's saying. I think they're incredible lyrics:

In the faces you see You’ll see, you’ll see You’ll see the place Where you’ll die

And you’ll see where you want to be And every place you go You’ll see the faces Of the people you know

And you’ll see, you’ll see You’ll fall in love and die On a place you know And our heart and souls

You’ll rust, you’ll rust You’ll rust and sleep You’ll rust, you’ll rust You’ll rust and sleep

In the places you go You’ll see you know

You’ll see you know You’ll see you know You’ll see you know You’ll see you know

You’ll see you owe your friend and You’ll see you are your friends and You’ll see you are the place that you live in

You’ll see you know You’ll see you know

You’ll see you know you are The friends that you met And you are; you’ll know, you know

You’ll know you own, and you know You’ll know you are the place you live in And who you met, and I can

You’ll see; you’ll see you’re getting’ nowhere You’ll see; you’ll see you’re nowhere

You’ll see you are my army You’ll see you’ll know you knowing You’ll see when you die knowing On the last second of life, you’ll see well

You’ll see you are your mother You’ll see you are your father You’ll see you are your friends You’re all the city you live in

You’ll see you’ll need it You’ll see anything you want to You’ll see you are all the people Who you ever met and

You’ll see you are all the people You loved the life you hate now You’ll see you’re all you needed I know where you end and you’ll see

In the last seconds of your life You’ll see who you are They’ll show you how it works They’ll show you how it works And you’ll see

You’ll see you’re all you needed You’ll see you know you got it You’ll see your family sitting down You’re ugly just like they were

You’ll see where you need to be at You’ll see your grieving cousins You’ll see the things you wanted You’ll see you hate, not loved it You’ll see why you were going

You’ll see why you were talking You’ll see why you were walking You’ll see why you were working You’ll see why you were thinking You’ll see why you went to see that movie

You’ll see why you were listening You’ll see why you were takin’ that photo of me You’ll see why you were standing You’ll see why you were waiting You’ll see why you were Looking out at the trees and

You’ll see you need a part-job You’ll see you are a part of You’ll see you are a part of all our cities

You’ll see you were a wash-out You’ll see you blamed the wrong folks You’ll see you sat on your head You’ll see you mean to love and You’ll see you need to die and You’ll see it while you’re waiting

You’ll pace around this building You’ll pace around this planet You drive around for hours You never take no showers You’ll take a million showers

You’ll bleed your mother’s blood and You’ll bleed your own blood and You’ll breathe Napolean’s air You’ll see why you weren’t thinking You’ll see why you weren’t the only one You’ll see, you’ll see You’ll see, you’ll see

You’ll breathe Napolean’s air
You’ll see why you weren’t thinking
You’ll see why you weren’t the only one
You’ll see, you’ll see
You’ll see, you’ll see
