4AM Lyrics

4am and I hear that cry
Look through the curtain but no sign of life
She stumbles knocking over all the secrets she hides
And silently sweeps it all under the rug

How many times have I heard that sound
The hair on the back of my neck stands tall
Everybody slowly starts closing the blinds
Am I the only one who can recognize

I hope I never become him
Stuck behind the morning light
I'm held in uncertain bondage

WATCHING, WAITING
BLACK AND WHITE SURVEILLANCE
I hope that nothing is going wrong

And when he sees me looking eye to eye
Only on the off hand chance that he strikes
A pantomime motion where I am

Miscast a play in the ANTEMASQUE

I hope I never become him
Stuck behind the morning light
I'm held in uncertain bondage

WATCHING, WAITING
BLACK AND WHITE SURVEILLANCE
I hope that nothing is going wrong

Sharp shocked
I'm going to put him
Never looking back
Sharp shatter break that mirror
Never looking back

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.
