Home Outgrown Lyrics

Condescender last forever come call off your dogs
Chemical splendor, I surrender a promise to myself
The old enemy

I know a snake, I know a charmer, I know a selfish little boy
But I wish that I knew my friend
A neighbor is a stranger
And compassion is an option
When your frigid hearts settle in

I'm not going home
I'm not going home
Where is my home?
Where is my home?
I'm not going home

My heroes I have forgotten them
My heroes maybe they never were
I'm not going home

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 feel like this song perfectly captures many of the core feelings of just being alive. I suppose that is what a lot of music lyrics are about, but I think this song just yells HUMAN at me.
