Tedium Vitae Lyrics

[Valanne, Jarva et al.]

I'm not here looking for HAPPINESS
I can do well enough WITHOUT
Everything I need from this LIFE.
Just one tiny lil' bit of PEACE and QUIET

Nothing GLORIOUS about it
Nothing to CELEBRATE or BOAST
I don't remember when I first stopped CARING...
I don't mind. I just take it as it COMES

I'm afraid it is more than just a PHASE
And I feel it is not a PASSING thing
It's been right there ENCODED INSIDE me
Since the day that I LANDED on this EARTH!

Nothing GLORIOUS about it
And nothing to CELEBRATE or BOAST
I don't remember when I first stopped CARING
But I don't mind. I GO with the FLOW

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.
