Insectica V2 Lyrics

i, insectica
from a million eyes
gimme more then meets the eye
dont you make me beg

a thousand eyes through your soul
a thousand eyes over me
venom through iron wings
a beat in symatry
insectica, you will never die
i can feel you loving
the exoskeleton cry

this dark insectica
fooling with love and lust
gimme more then meets the eye
dont you make me beg
a thousand eyes through your soul
a thousand eyes over me
venom through iron wings
a beat in symatry

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.

Explains Kath, "One of our earliest tracks is a noise-guitar track called 'Insectica'. While teaching myself how to use a computer music sequencer program, I mashed it up with a Lo-Bat track. It somehow appeared online as 'Insecticon'. I assume it was named for someone mishearing Alice sing the opening line 'I, Insectica.' Someone else posted the track as 'Bitter Hearts' after learning that we have an unreleased track called 'Bitter Hearts' and [assuming] they had found it. If I had put the song online myself I would have called it 'Insectica (Crystal Castles vs. Lo-Bat version)' but unfortunately I did not upload it. I do not regret this, the publicity we are receiving four years later is priceless."
