Monotony Lyrics

Monotony is so holy
It merge with me
It can't hurt me
Though it's empty, never windy
I'm jus' strollin' around in monotony
In monotony

In the eye of a storm
It appears I was born
I had taken the form
At 12 o' clock in the morn

Never quite touchin' down,
But never touchin' the ground
Half full and empty, my cup,
Always just hangin' around...
They ask me "how do you do?"
I tell them that I don't know
They say to go get a clue
I ask them "where do I go?"

Could it be malaise?
Or am I depressed?
Just a life-long phase
I am not in duress
Don't consider me blessed
but don't consider me cursed
In this chaotic mess
I guess that it could be worse

I KNOW it could be worse

Monotony is so holy
It merge with me It can't hurt me
Though it's empty, never windy,
I'm just strollin' around in monotony
In monotony

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.

Hello all, THE marxman2 checking in on this submitted content. Happy to see the lyrics continue to stay up since it's submission 4 years ago. Have to give credit where it is due and thank @broadpath for the editing assist, although I'd appreciate a description of what you edited.

Damn pleased about the cleanliness of the comment section, but this song is looking for a little love. Give it a comment to spruce things up around here! Will check in again
