Say What You Mean Lyrics

I'll be desperate, I'll be lonely
But I won't be ashamed
No isolation, no terror unnamed
You animated the dead to your dream
Say what you mean

Destiny's still locomotive desire
Magnets set on you and thrown into the fire
If you get branded and caught in between
Say what you mean

You'll despise and protect
You'll fool and you'll grouse
How hungry are you?
How much can you loose?

You know what I would do for you
'Til it gets too late
Just tell me straight

The secrets that you want to know
Are yours not mine
Longing may kill me
I can't keep my mind

On my destructions
My drugs and my dreams
Say what you mean

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.
