Selfhood Lyrics

Back on the true path of selfhood
Now I can wander as I please
Back on the eve of self-destruction
All alone now and I can do as I please

I've had a good good hour's sleep
And I feel less than human

Dead set on the notion to
Let what you love kill you
My head enjoys to watch it
Over and over again
Watch it all come to an end

Back on the true path to selfhood
Now I can get as high as I please
Out on the eve of self-destruction
All alone now and I can cry as I please

I had a good good fifteen minutes there
And now I'm nothing

But now I can't help thinking it's all for nothing
And when I can't help thinking it's all fucked up
Will I be proud to be back on the true path to selfhood?

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.
