The Word Of Your Body Lyrics

[WENDLA]
Just too unreal, all this
Watching the words fall from my lips

[MELCHIOR]
Baiting some girl with hypotheses

[BOTH]
Haven’t you heard the word of your body?

[MELCHIOR]
Don’t feel a thing, you wish

[WENDLA]
Grasping at pearls with my fingertips

[MELCHIOR]
Holding her hand like some little tease

[BOTH]
Haven’t you heard the word of my wanting?

Oh, I’m gonna be wounded
Oh, I’m gonna be your wound
Oh, I’m gonna bruise you
Oh, you’re gonna be my bruise

Just too unreal, all this

[WENDLA]
Watching his world slip through my fist

[MELCHIOR]
Playing with her in your fantasies

[BOTH]
Haven’t you heard a word how I want you?

Oh, I’m gonna be wounded
Oh, I’m gonna be your wound
Oh, I’m gonna bruise you
Oh, you’re gonna be my bruise

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 do believe that this song may look as though it is one of pain, however, too many times we overlook how truly passionate it can be. When he referrs to himself being a bruise, and to bruise, he only means that he is going to leave an impression on her, one physical, but one emotional, and that one will be much deeper. They are only afraid of what they do not know, and have only heard what their parents tell them, therefore they can only assume that the worst will in fact be beautiful and terrible at the same time.
