Hugo Lyrics

I've been playing backgammon
With my eyes on the floor
Facing myself hiding
Stay while I play the pawn

I don't like when they come and stare
I don't like when they try to tear me away

I've been seeing monsters
At 3 AM they come out and twirl my hair
Shivering, I know they're waiting
Put the blanket over my head and face the wall

I don't like when they come and stare
I don't like when they try to tear me away

Tear me down
Tear me up

I don't like when they come and stare
I don't like when they try to tear me away

Oh, if I had known
I would've played the pawn...

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.
