Providence Lyrics

I know I cannot be true
I'm an animal, just like you
oh I'll bleed just a little bit too
oh I'll bleed just like you

I know I cannot be true
I'll bleed just a little bit too
oh I'm just like you
I'm just an animal, just like you

I know I cannot be true
I'm an animal, just like you
oh I'll bleed just a little bit too
I bleed just like you

I know I cannot be true
I bleed just like you
I bleed just like you
oh I know I cannot be true

I'll bleed just a little bit too
I know just what I do?
I bleed just like you
I bleed just like you

I know just what to do
I'm an animal, just like you
oh lord, what can I do?
oh lord, please help me through

I'm an animal, just like you
oh lord, I know just what I do?
oh lord, what can I do?
oh lord, what can I do?

I'm an animal, just like you (20x)

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.

I think he's saying just like animals he can't stay monogamous - justifying his philandering around.

Yannis stated at a gig that this was about losing your religion. I think it makes sense because he is confused at the lord not giving him answers and letting him bleed like that.
