Turning Violent Lyrics

Turning violent
Tell me about it
Turn, turn around
You aren't violent
Don't turn violent, oh

Turn on and on
Turn on and on
Turn on
Turn on

Turning violent
Tell me about it
Turn, turn around
You aren't violent
Don't turn violent, oh

Turn on and on
Turn on and on
Turn on
Turn on

Turn on and on
Turn on and on
Turn on
Turn on

Turning violent
Tell me about it
Turn, turn around
You aren't violent
Don't turn violent, oh

Turn on
Turn on
Turn on (Someone watching)
Turn on (Turn and listen)

Turning violent
Tell me about it
Turn, turn around
You aren't violent
Don't turn violent, oh

Turn on (If you're violent)
Turn on (If you're sinister)
Turn on (There's someone watching)
Turn on (Turn and listen)

Turn on (Someone's watching)
Turn on (Try to listen)
Turn on (Turning violent)
Turn off

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.

This song is genuinely haunting. Becoming what you hate? Something new you don't understand?
