Do What I Do Lyrics

Do you ever wonder what we're here for?
Did it ever cross your mind?
If you could just get out and see more
You may never know what you mind find

No satisfaction in your lounge room
The walls are slowly closing in
You keep on humming only one tune
It's probably your only state of thinkin'

And if you only knew what I've been going through
Maybe then you'd see that you don't
See that you don't

Do what I do
What I see
What I see
What I know
What I know
What I play
What I play
I've been playing my whole life just living like I do
Now I don't need anybody like you

Closer and closer all the time
How about some breathin' space instead of crowdin' mine
I pushed away but to no avail
You'll just come back twice as strong
And it's just a useless tale

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.

its pretty hard to interpret it without hearing it but i think its about people going along with the crowd and doing what other people do instead of thinking for themselves
