Giving into the Taking Lyrics

first blood on the civic corrosion
they crawl in the sin of children
high hopes come along in the riddle loose
crossroad motion from a stiff at the vine
longhaul learnings to parade in the heat
lessons lean in a click from the turnsite
blinding tone of morals in minors nest
sits the cancer all ready for trimming
curiosity vicious in action
while the crowd screams
on tagious conspired performance
love in the motion
love in the unknown
see it to believe it
smiling killer, swooning stranger
herd, hazard, the heretic
given in to the taking
something wicked in the land of the lost
adaptation from life in the swells
tiny vipers fanged tight to the nerves
blood worms - host shifts the war to the stage
prowling to haze battles in curses
no gods to speak, no answers to tame
show the sorrow disguised in red roses
sent as fault in benevolence
send them everything to end formality
and be aware of who is listening close
given into the talking

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.
