Passion Is Accurate Lyrics

I engineered a heavy heart
You carried the weight of it
I engineered the awkward look
You carry a trace of it

My passion is accurate (X2)

I engineered the long silence
I engineered the bored… Kiss
I calculated the nights you missed
You carried the weight of it

My passion is accurate (X2)

I move in mathematician fashion
I move the problem around a fraction
My passion is accurate
You carried the weight of it

My passion is accurate (X4)

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.

Cover art for Passion Is Accurate lyrics by Kills, The

by terrycraig

12y ago

It clearly seems to be a song about being psychologically manipulative. And more specifically, about mathematically calculating your every move ("the long silence," "the bored kiss," "the awkward look") in a romantic relationship so as not to seem too attached to the other person, and you showing your so-called love just enough for it to be acceptable (aka: so your "passion is accurate")... in order to not get hurt when the relationship ends. Basically a result of being afraid of emotional commitment. Consequently, the other person "carries the weight of it"/carries the burden of enduring your behaviour.
