Nong Eye Gong Lyrics

Now
You laugh forever
You laugh
The winner and the best man
Yeah
Corrupter
Shapeshifter
Your voice is the sound of nothing
Butcher of every artform
Peddler of deceit
Watching the hourhand drag
Destroyer of the past
We're smart enough to say we're sorry
Not smart enough to start again
Dancing in death's illusion
The pride before the fall
The pride before the fall
Candy for the children
Give it to them all

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.

It sounds like whoever this song is about, the narrator had a terrible falling out with him/her and is not afraid to tell the entire world that this person is, indeed, a worthless piece of shit. I think it's definately about a relationship, hence...

"We're smart enough to say we're sorry Not smart enough to start again"

So much animosity in this track. I love it. Too short, however. Just enough to get your blood spouting.

i dont know when they wrote the lyrics but it could possibly be about the loss of chris pennie. "Destroyer of the past" made me think that.
