Shoot Me Dead Lyrics

shoot me dead
or be good or
shoot me dead
or say that you'll die for me

all is said, understood
and all is said, understood
and clear to see

don't waste your time in saying
don't waste your time in looking for sorrow
I'm as sure of the past
as I am certain about tomorrow

all I know about you is
all you know about me is misinformation
all we know about death
is all we know about life in this situation

your eyes try to detect what
your eyes try to detect an explanation
my eyes are blinded
by the far-off look of new expectations

morena, morena
morena, morena
oh, morena
oh, morena

all I know about you is
all you know about me is misinformation
all we know about death
is all we know about life in this situation

your eyes try to detect what
your eyes try to detect an explanation
my eyes are blinded
by the far-off look of new expectations

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.
