Overstand Lyrics

Let me make it clear
I don't care for religion
But you're still my brother
No matter your decision

The blond haired, blue-eyed
God is overrated
I am not attracted to the
Picture that you're painting

I know I am young
And I have much to learn
But faith without reason
Makes me concerned
Believing in wonder
?

For your home benefits
Your world to be seen
So come on put your
Foolishness under my feet
Be aware of mind games
Of society

So let me make it clear
I don't care for religion, hey
But you're still my brother
No matter your decision

The blond haired, blue-eyed
God is overrated
I am not attracted to the
Picture that you're painting

Listen now
Hear me now

I know I am young
And I have much to learn
But faith without reason
Makes me concerned
Believing in wonder
?

For your home benefits
Your world to be seen
So come on put your
Foolishness under my feet
Be aware of mind games
Of society

So let me make it clear
I don't care for religion
But you're still my brother
No matter your decision

The blond haired, blue-eyed
God is overrated, yes
I am not attracted to the
Picture that your painting

So let me make it clear
I don't care for religion
But you're still my brother
No matter your decision

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.
