Filthy, Rotten Scoundrel Lyrics

Every dayï¿½s the same for me
People come and people leave
And every dayï¿½s a game for me
Iï¿½m always losing willingly
I keep telling myself, keep telling myself to be grateful
But thatï¿½s not good for my health, not good for my health

Maybe my expectations let me down and Iï¿½m too far off the ground
And I donï¿½t know what Iï¿½ve got ï¿½til itï¿½s gone
No I donï¿½t know what Iï¿½ve got ï¿½til itï¿½s gone

When Iï¿½m old and lonely I donï¿½t want my life to read:
He was born and then he died and not much happened in between

So Iï¿½ll work my way through outer space and set my feet on the ground

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.

"A song about me [James Veck-Gilodi], the title says enough"

"Scoundrel is simply about me. I am a filthy rotten scoundrel and I need to learn to be grateful and appreciate the opportunities that I have been given. It's also about my fear of living, dying and never really achieving anything. I am not at all an arrogant person but I think if I ever found myself veering towards the way of arrogance then I would listen to this song and hopefully bring myself back down to earth."
