2012 Lyrics

You think you are invincible
When in fact you're powerless
You're missing the principal
You'll fear the loneliness

It's just like time has stopped
It's always someone's fault
Turn back the hands of the clock
I'll turn into a pillar of salt

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far
Without you

So quick to seal our fate
Give it a second chance
We'll hurry up and wait
Victims of circumstance

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far
Without you

My heart may never beat again baby
Or have you got the best of me

You think you are invincible
You're missing the principal

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far
Without you

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 think "It's just like time has stopped" is an important clue here as the title is 2012, but I am very curious about whom she is singing to.

Maybe it's just because of my experience but it seems like she's not really into that person. It's when she says "victims of circumstance" and also "a tragedy brings misery and misery brings company". Seems like it was a previous failed relationship that got them together. So when she say's "my heart may never beat again" I'm not shure if she's talking to the actual person of the failed relationship or to the previous one. Anyway, I like to think of it like this :) Great song!
