Eventually Lyrics

this street is an exit only
it's an opening
which explains why this shit washes away
then runs right back in

if you have to always be leaving
how am i gonna show you that we are free

arrange yourself
reorder again
nothing has changed
select inspect and pull it apart
all the flavors taste plain

if i can't find you through all your things
how am i gonna show you that we are free
if i can't find you through all your things
how am i gonna show you that we are free

trace translate these names
they're all the same
no one isn't only
six billion monkeys
if we cannot need where would we begin
how am i gonna show you that we are free
if we cannot need where would we begin
how am i gonna show you that we are free
if you always have to leave
if you always have to leave
if you always have to leave

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.
