Enthusiasm for Life Defeats Existential Fear (Part 2) Lyrics

I woke up from a bad dream
Glad, glad that it wasn't the real thing
Your hand, waiting there for me
Oh yeah, this world is evil, but still
The rest is up to me

I woke up from a sad dream
Glad, glad that it wasn't the real thing
Your sparkle, waiting there for me
Oh yeah, this world is suffering, but still
The rest is up to me

See the moon, falling
Old sun, exploding as
It's going to be a sunny day
Oh yeah, I'm thinking it
Don't you forget it now
It's happening

See the moon, falling
Old sun, exploding as
It's going to be a sunny day
Oh yeah, I'm thinking it
Don't you forget it now
It's happening
That's what's happening
It's just what's happening
That's what's happening
I think it's happening
I think it's happening
I think it's happening
I think it's happening
I think it's happening

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.
