Locked In The Basement Lyrics

I will lock you down

I will lock you down

I will lock you down
I will, I will

I am on your side
I am on your side
I will, I will

If you could be, all of, this for me

And I, know you will, be mine

[Ooohh Ooohh Oh]

[Ooohh Ooohh Oh]

I will lock you down
in a bunker underground
Sealed and windowless inside
I will, oh I will

Uninspired and complacent
To be left with, this arrangement
This is, always, one thing you can't win

It is, harder when you, say it
Life is, never yours to, make it

It is, always, one thing, you can't win

[Ooohh Ooohh Oh]

[Ooohh Ooohh Oh]

I don't want anything, anything more
I don't want anything if I'm without you

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.
