The Reaper Lyrics

Hazy hair afternoon sleeper, I found you.
Meet the, Meet the, Meet the Reaper.
Golden hair sister suprise,
Sweet sunrise defeats you.
Look at the sun, see what it is.
How many lives do you think you can live?
Hazy hair afternoon sleeper, It's for you.
Meet the, Meet the, Meet the Reaper.
Golden hair sister suprise,
Sweet sunrise defeats you.
Look at these eyes, see what they are.
I am in charge of you.

When its visions turned off, turn me around.
Put me in the ground.
Look at the sun, see what it is.
How many lives do you think you can live?
When its visions turned off, turn me around.
Take it from mouth.
Look at the stars, see what they are.
How many live do you think you can live?

How bright is the brightest light in your life.
All I can ever see.
When white is as white as white can ever be,
Make it mean. Make it Darker.

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.
