My Absent Will Lyrics

Da da dum
Da da dum
Da da dum

Be weary where we rest our heads
We never know just where they've been
And as we lay there warm in bed
You might first strike us sleeping there
What's in your heart
that in the dark you can repel
Caught in the nightlight

Da da dum
Da da dum
Da da dum...

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'm pretty sure he says: "The vipers stike us sleeping there, What's in your heart That in the dark you CAN'T repel Caught in the nightlight."

And as for my own interpritation, I think the song is speaking about being careful around some people you let into your heart, because usually your heart will make petty decisions and relaxing your mind isn't the wisest choice and if you do happen to let this person in it's going to be hard to get them out of your mind (i.e: the dark you can't repel.)
