The Statue Lyrics

I don't understand
The feelings you lack
Your face is harder than it looks (hah)
Imagine that

I built your beauty front to back
I saw when your eyes faded to black

My chisel hasn't been touched
Since you came around
I haven't had a reason to even
Touch the ground

I've been floating around your face
Hoping for a chance for some grace

And I don't feel any different
No, I don't feel any different
You feel very different
You're starting to feel different
Now I feel different
You feel very different
You feel very different
Are you alive?

Your skin gets warmer
With every kiss
Your eyes put me in
Some kind of bliss

With great Gods above me I am sure
I'm given the lover I would prefer
Your hand is a jewel your hair is a crown
No hardship or heathen could make me turn you down

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.

"He would believe, but yet is still in pain, And tries his Argument of Sense again, Presses the Pulse, and feels the leaping Vein. Convinced, o'erjoyed, his studied Thanks and Praise, To her who made the Miracle, he pays: Then Lips to Lips he joined; now freed from Fear, He found the Savour of the Kiss sincere: At this the wakened image oped her Eyes, And viewed at once the Light and Lover, with surprise."

Pygmalion and the Statue by Ovid trans. by John Dryden
