The Outsider Lyrics

i got something on my ego
the plastic surgery will melt
it's like getting kind of me so
it comes over when you come

i need to call it out my system
i find the good and kick it out
when the wind blows the stars don’t shine
i find the good and kick it out

i got day day day day day day day today
the error takes some parts so stay away
i find myself alone
just staring down the phone
i got day day day day day day day today

i see shadows in the night grow
i see dancing disease
i don’t fear very easily
i gotta get some light relief

i got day day day day day day day today
the error takes some parts so stay away
i find myself alone
just staring down the phone
i got day day day day day day day today

alone, alone, alone, alone..

i got day day day day day day day today
the error takes some parts so stay away
i find myself alone
just staring down the phone
i got day day day day day day day today

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.

Seems to be about society shaming transgenders.
