Q&A

usually Lyrics

she went first - you're unusual
buy your clothes from widows now
so you dress unusually

but usually, she'd be buying clothes for you

she went first - that's unusual
you stand apart at the bar now
drinking the usual

but usually, she'd be buying those for you

slide out of my mind, waste the daytime...
send me one sign: "guess i'm fine."
out of my life
it's when you're there, fresh on my mind
that i just slide

shared hard work
stay - you're capable
in second-hand shop windows
it's business as usual

but usually, she'd be wearing those for you

slide out of my mind, waste the daytime...
send me one sign: "guess i'm fine."
out of my life
it's when you're there, on my mind
i just slide

(usually, usually)
usually, out of my mind
(usually, usually)
usually
(usually, usually)
usually, i'm wasting my time

slide out of my life, waste the day time...
send me one sign: "guess i'm fine"
out of my life
it's when you're there, (fresh on my mind) on my mind
i just slide
'cause it's when you're there
on my mind
i just slide

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 think it's about a couple who just broke up. They realized that the world still turns the way it does, they still do the same things they always do, and nothing really changes but them. A very melancholic song!

@dealarissa i think a couple separated because she passed away. “Send me one sign,” makes me think this. Sad.
