What I Hear You Can't, How Come? Lyrics

Out there I hear sounds
I know
don't exist for you
how come
Out there I hear sounds
you can't - how come?

Of this I conclude I know
much more than I did
how come
out there I hear sounds
you can't - how come

out there I hear sounds like
I know
what I hear you can't
how come?
out pounds Out pounds
more than you know - how come?

Out there I hear sounds I'm sure of
what they are I conclude
I know
Out there I hear sounds like
I love you - how come?

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.

Until the last stanza I might think the song was about a schitzophrenic. But when she sings that it is the proclamation of love that only she can hear, it makes my heart skip a beat. She is addressing someone in particular and I doubt it is a composite character. Someone love does not exist for is tragic and the singing is in synch with the message of the song. It is slow paced and the way she emphasized her words is uniquie and special because the person she is writing about is special to her. She is in grief. The music is subdued to fit the message as well. This is a band that could crank out some very good hard rock. This is contemplative. I would not say cathartic...haven't used that word since college. But it might bring a tear to your eye if you are tender hearted. I think there are so few of us.
