Onset Lyrics

"Onset"

The counter culture left us with some redness in the eyes
Faded jeans and politics and shooters in the sky
Diagnosed a menus and I'm broken in the mind
The doctor said the Ritalin would surely work out fine
Your always there your always with me you always fill me up
It's scary out there
Your always fair you always miss me you always bring me love
Flower rich emotion and I can't control my mind
A drop of antimatter and I'll blow up all mankind
Maybe I am jaded, or I'm mean or I am blind
Live in fear or God is real there's nothing left to hide
Your always there your always with me you always fill me up
It's scary out there
Your always fair you always miss me you always bring me love
It's not the same living on the edge
I'm not the same so go ahead and ride
Ride, ride, ride
Your always there your always with me you always fill me up
It's scary out there
Your always fair you always miss me you always bring me love
Never be scared

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.

that makes sense, especially with how the verses are fast and frantic sounding compared to how the chorus is slowed down and comforting. Kind of reminds me of "Here Comes My Girl" by Tom Petty, like how life can be so fucked up but being with someone you love is all that matters and makes all the rough times worth it.

I think its pretty clear that because of all the shit in the world right now people are turning to drugs (ritalin) but now the world has less meaning and is less exciting. The chorus is talking about the drug, how its always there to cheer you up, even though its an "empty" solution. The name Onset loosely reflects this, meaning the onset affects of the drugs. That's just me.
