Green Lyrics

There was a time not so long ago
When I thought I knew my name
Now I can see there is more to me
More than I can explain
Not just a face or a bank account
More than a Yale degree
I spend my time keeping focus on
The things that I long to be

GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN
GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN
GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN
GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN

Vibrating each at a different rate
My thoughts cannot fall in line
I take a deep breath and I stand and wait
I still can’t make up my mind
Don’t want to be blue, yellow, red
They’re no good to me
They don’t give me what I need
I’m looking for peace
And for love and eternal bliss
I’m looking to be serene

I want to be…

GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN
GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN
GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN
GREEN, GREEN, GREEN, GREEN

To be in between
To see the unseen
To not need codeine
To build enough steam
To break the machine
To make a machine
To change the routine
To take a vaccine
To come up with a scheme
To wear gaberdine
In a Green submarine
I got to be Green…

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.

This song is about someone having an awakening and realizing that they are more than just the body they inhabit. And "Green" refers to wanting to be peaceful or at piece.

I believe "Green" has to do with chakra colors. It's weird, you never really hear thoughtful lyrics like this with such loud music.
