The Doldrums Lyrics

i'm living in myself today
will there be anything to say?
i'm living with my mom and dad
couldn't put the bong down
i'm living in the doldrums
yes, i'm on a pill
and you don't love me like i love you

the doldrums
the doldrums

i'm living on a train today
yeah, that's what i'd like to say
yeah, i stay in my room today
it's all the plain
the doldrums
i'm living in the doldrums because
i'm doing it for you too
you can do anything, 'cause i love you

the doldrums
the doldrums

take me there a piece for you

the doldrums
the doldrums

i'm living in the doldrums
i'm living in the doldrums across my way to be
get across the offers, take back all i knew

i'm just so scared, can't kill anything
i'm just too scared, can't kill anything
i'm just too scared, can't kill anything
i'm just too scared, killing all me

i'm living in myself today, you challenge me brand
i'm living in my falling down

the doldrums
the doldrums
the doldrums

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.
