Whole Lyrics

I don't need no fortune teller, no
I can see the silver lining everywhere I go
I can feel the warmth back in my bones
I can feel my heart telling me that I'm whole

I am whole
I am whole
I am whole
I am whole

I can see the glimmer in his eyes again
The way you talk to me is the way you did back then
I've been waiting years to feel this again
I am whole

I am whole
I am whole
I am whole
I am whole

Oh won't you shout it out
So you can hear what I'm living for
Oh won't you shout it out
So you can hear what I'm living for

I am whole
I am whole
I am whole
I am whole

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.

To me, this song really speaks of healing yourself and finding yourself again. I've had an eating disorder for 5 years now, and I'm finally starting to get better. EDs are a lot about numbing your emotions, and you really lose touch with yourself. I've always wanted to "be whole" again, as in a whole person, who feels and experiences and is present in my own life. "I can see the glimmer in his eyes again..." To me, this really speaks of connecting emotionally with people again, especially romantically. I had a boyfriend at one point when I was doing better, but slipping back made me completely lose any feelings I had towards him. "I've been waiting years to feel this again" is about finally getting back in touch with yourself and connecting emotionally with others. The last stanza is about finally finding something that you want to live for again.
