Lions Lyrics

I was off for the lions
Baby above
You could not repress this
Love so young
Oh baby don't

You would not be taken
Too seriously
I was affected
Affected by beauty oh
It's been away since I found you
All my lovers break inside
What do you people wanna do

Lord I wanna realize
Lord I wanna realize

I was off for the lions
Baby above
You could not repress this
Love so young
Oh baby don't

You would not be taken
Too seriously
I was affected
Affected by beauty oh
It's been away since I found you
All my lovers break inside
What do you people wanna do

Lord I wanna realize
Lord I wanna realize
Lord I wanna realize

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.

This is one of my absolute favorite songs. I simply love the feel of it. But I have no idea what the lyrics are supposed to mean...

Anyone have an idea?
