Sterilizer Lyrics

How do you understand failure?
Is it a place you can go, or is it in you?
How do you feel about lovers?
Is that charming embrace
a safe place?

Turning something to nothing
is the loneliest thing
played to the beat of two wings
clapping together
Turning something to nothing
makes the ugliest mess
played out by two empty vests
fucking in collars

How do you cope with devastation?
Do you dress it up, or does it dress you?
Does it rest on your back, or in the corners of your eyes?
Does it bleed you?
Does it wear you down?

Turning something to nothing
is the loneliest thing
played to the beat of two wings
clapping together
Turning something to nothing
builds the ugliest scene
It’s such a heartless thing
to do

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.
