1/5th Compromise Lyrics

Hope that you'll illuminate along the way
Convinced that all the ends run down so furiously
I'll leave this unconvincing voice upon the air outside
I'll leave it on the air
I'll leave it on the air outside
Rationalize, deny, defend all the way
And it's been set and rendered still away from view
I'll leave this unconvincing voice upon the air outside
I'll leave it on the air
I'll leave it on the air outside Rationalize, deny, defend all the way
You knocked those years right out of me
This calling, so sound asleep

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.

Great song. One of those where I really don't know what the hell he is talking about, but couldn't imagine the words being anything else.
