Llaw = Wall Lyrics

Yawn yawn to the detached now
See them screaming underneath
Fill your baskets up with dead fruit
And watch the poison trickle free

Always something in the way now
All the borders feel the same now
If you leave, leave what you are

My hand's a wall, I need the same
It turns a light, my gift's a threat
Watch from afar and pour your hands in deep
You'll find a claw. It says

Always something in the way

A barking dogma, some happy minute spilt on the window is what you are
I never mentioned all the things I did
It's the pain that keeps you wanting
So take over
You're the ugly truth

If you leave, leave what you are

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.
