Hasten The Blows Lyrics

Sleeping in to two pm that's the kind of life that's gonna kill you peel the dust off from your eyes and slide into the water rats inside the walls they sing "another cup of sleep and he is under" dancing on the crockery a kitchen full of insect slaugher lonely we could be alright bring on the chorus tonight these loves they never last a heart that turn to glass the moon is half a slice tonight but you can't see it for the fog of summer the fight you always try to keep still scrape the paint and can't remember this love that wakes at witching hour the moon prevokes the tides to final softness girls in cars and boys in bars fallen asleep to burnt Decembers a figure caught beneath the blades you'll sleep it off it's just a graze we'll burn the ferris wheel in song and paralyse these second glances parked on shattered asphalt dunes and drunk on all of night times naked splendour waking up a broken toy and plotting to be underwater hasten the blows there's no time to echo those summers.

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.
