Showcase Lyrics

When I came to you I, saw a light of understanding
Maybe, you are only, left with that tree
That tree…

Bum, bum, bum, bum…

Ooooh…
I have, a lot of things to
Share with you
You

Tonight, tonight, haaaaaight, aaaahhh… haaaaaaaa, aaaa

When you, were the showcase
There was action, all over me
Now that, we are backstage
There’s a lot, a looooot, a loooot of things to referee
To referee…
To referee…
Referee…

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 song is really hard to understand, I think any meaning in this is personal to the writer of the song. but to me I get this image of a couple who found each other and saw something special in eachother but after a while, once they got to know each other better and the flames died down it got so they were great in public but behind closed doors argued a lot and the relationship was full of hidden holes.

This song is strangely creepy to me... I love it.

A song about change, at least, though it seems the details of the overall meaning are purposefully muddied/personal.
