Status Update Lyrics

It's like I'm a fucking fuse and you're a fucking hot flame. And now I'm daring you to step up into my path. You're a billboard in my face. A bullhorn in my ear. Thanks for the status update. You've made it crystal clear. I'm a fucking fuse and you're a big, dumb flame. And now I'm daring you... You're a bullhorn in my face. A billboard in my ear. Thanks for the status update.
You've made it crystal clear.

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.

Todd Kowalski: I’m not really sure if it’s serious or ironic but it’s mostly about not being intimidated by people and trying to hold your ground. It’s said in a tongue-in-cheek way. Chris changed the words to "A bullhorn in my face and a billboard in my ear" and it’s not a tough-guy song, but it is about holding your ground. He thought it was funny and I thought it was funny and away it went.
