Normally Strange Lyrics

I've been living in this darkness
Setting light to my own home
I've been praying for some company
But I want to be left alone
I've been feeling lower lately
But I'm still getting high
Feeling pretty confident
That I'm feeling shy
I don't know how to say
That I don't know how I feel today
I need to go and stay
With someone else by myself
It's a beautiful day tonight
Am I coming, going, left, wrong or right?
I'm feeling bad, alright
I'm normally strange

I've been washing in the dirt
Just to get myself clean
I'm blinded by the horrific things
That I've never seen

Just a minute
What am I even talking about?
I understand my confusion now

I don't know how to say
That I don't know how I feel today
I need to go and stay
With someone else, by myself
It's a beautiful day tonight
Am I coming, going, left, wrong or right?
I'm feeling bad, alright
I'm normally strange

I should have stayed in bed today

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.
