Space and the Woods Lyrics

Suicide is in my blood
It always was
But it doesn't evaporate in the light anymore
And this world is no place
For a mind or a thought
No it's not
Well that's been said before
But space and the woods still know who I am
And I know they don't owe me anything
Not after what I've done

Put on my radiation suit and slip away
I'm on the run from what I've become
And this life (like suicide)
Runs at a lot of different speeds
And I know they don't owe me anything
Not after what I've done

Late on a Monday night
I'm on the grapevine
Beating around the bush
Adds to the bassline
Thinking about the time
When I was dancing slow
And out of control

I'm shit hot so say what you think about me
I'm not gonna cry cos I don't care
I'm shit hot so say what you think about me
I'm not gonna cry cos I don't care
I've done nothing
I've done nothing
But they forgive anything
Like how I don't stop you
Breaking my arms
And chopping me, chopping me down
So I fit in your laptop
I've done nothing

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 think its about a murder and hat the first part of the song is about the murderer being on the run, and the second part of the song is the person who has been murdered saying that they didn deserve to be killed.

This one is tricky. I think Marina is talking about "looks over brains" in a world where there is no place for "a mind or a thought", only for "shit hot" people and that's the way they suceed in life, simply "doing nothing", serving one's consumerism in the age of laptops. Not quite sure of what Space and the Woods are exactly, Nature, a place, whathever, but these elements make her feel true to her ideals.
