The King Lyrics

I can see lights
White and I can see only lights
White and so I guess I can see nothing beyond
All of this time wasted
Crying over someone who doesn’t really see you leave at all
It’s sick and it’s the saddest, saddest thing to me
Much more, it’s much harder than just watching you leave
Who cares? It’s easy. It was so easy
I am…I am the king
I am the king
I am the king, I’m the king
I have a big brown leaf
And I’m chewing, chewing,
It’s cool, I’m alone
Nobody’s looking and anyway this is my idea of funny days
So fuck having babies and rocking them to sleep
And going to the movies
And drinking martinis
I don’t want you anymore
You were never that good
You were never that good, baby
I can see lights
White and I can see only lights
White and so I guess I can see nothing, nothing beyond

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.

I love this song. It kind of reminds me of a breakup, after which you can no longer see any kind of future and where you start to tell yourself that your past was a mistake.
