Spoon Me Lyrics

You are what you believe to be
nothing it's you
could you please spoon me
you protect me...
from what I want
I can't ask for more
this time... I should
and if it works for real I could have lived it too
but if I took control I would not interest you

You are what you believe to be
nothing it's you
could you please spoon me
you protect me...
from what I want
I can't ask for more
this time... I should
and when I make it real I can go live it too
though when I take control it does not be with you

And if it works for real I could have lived it too
but if I took control I would not interest you
and if it works for real I could have lived it too
but if I took control it will not be with 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.

Essentially, the song is about a girl who feels comfortable and safe with a controlling lover. She knows that there is "something more" out there, but being with this person is hindering her exploration of it. ("You protect me...from what I want"). Knowing that she can't have both with this person ("Though if I took control, it will not be with you"), she decides to take charge of her life/happiness anyway.
