Non Sequitur Lyrics

I can see your face move when you speak
Focus on the space between your teeth, oh no
Every word is unaccountable
Everyone seems faultless before they say anything
I'm the dark side of your mirror
The downside that's screaming here
And we know our setting suns
We know our damage [repeat]
I can hear the words as they come out
I should wire my jaw shut to be agreeable
No one else is conscious of the clear audible flaws
I'm a negative endless sentence, non sequitur with claws
I'm the dark side of your mirror
I'm the low note shattering ears
And we know our setting suns
We know our damage [repeat]
I'm the downer in you beer
I'm the low note in your ears
We know our empty glass
We know how long it last
We know our setting suns
We know our damage

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.
