Modest Life Lyrics

This is beginning, we realise
We're celebrating the modest life
A chance at your wishes, a wish for more
Everyone's waiting at an open door

A sneaking suspicion is in your eyes
This sweet indecision can leave you blind
Ashes are spilling from your cigarette
Everyone's willing to be a silhouette

I'm not waiting, I'm coming for you my love
All this waiting is taking its toll

They say this is living, it's just a lie
Everyone's living, but we're living lies
No premonition to justify
This intuition is what decides

I'm not waiting, I'm coming for you my love
All this waiting is taking its toll

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.
