Typical Time Lyrics

What a typical time for me
What a terrible time for you
I warned you not to come here, no I just fought with you
You can always turn around
Your feet are not stapled to the ground
I've left this ship forever
There's no treasure to be found

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 thought it was ''lived in shit forver'' instead of ''left this ship forever'' thought it made more sense as well cos i can relate to it if it was that. my girlfriend comes from a wealthy family and im very working class, no money etc. and it reminds me of when i took her out with my mates, she was really looking forward to coming out in the city until she realised it was nothing special. this song sums up perfectly how we both felt...
