New Soft Archetype Lyrics

There once was a time
Blessed by the desire
They wrote out advice
They stole the rest of the lines
From oracle guides and potency rites
I'm dumb enough to reject those formal arts
I'm dumb enough to refuse their protocols
Tear it up for the new soft archetype
I'm only nervous 'til you stop talking
Bold mystery brides undressed
To the nines for cold-shower nights
I've blown what's left of my mind
Desperate to sire sociable vice
I know enough to respect my virgin thoughts
I know enough to confuse my porn and art
Tear it up for the new soft archetype
Tear it up for the new soft archetype
I'm only nervous 'til you stop talking
And can't stand the policy
'Cause I'm pregnant with purity
But I ain't apostolic, man
I just slept right through the past
Tear it up for the new soft archetype
I'm only nervous 'til you stop talking

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.
