Photojournalist Lyrics

what had become of
the woman who lingered around
in the photo
the daughter of Diane
would never ever be bound
to the basic
to rise up again
rise up again
like a ghost
I saw it
rise up again
rise up again
like a ghost
here with me
you will stop
I'm not ready to know who she was was ooo oooh
stop I'm not ready to know who she was was ooo oooh

there is a difference between
what you want them to know
and what they have to know
there in the mirror
reality never was found
from the waist up
to rise up again
rise up again
like a ghost
it started to
rise up again
rise up again
like a ghost
here with me
you will stop
I'm not ready to know who she was was ooo oooh
stop I'm not ready to know who she was was ooo oooh
stop I'm not ready to know who she was ooo oooh
stop I'm not ready to know who she was was ooo oooh

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.

This song is about the fallibility of memory. His recollections of the past were either idealized or inaccurate or otherwise hazy.

No idea what the song's about. Catchy as all hell, including the star slinger remix!
