Gouge Out Thy Eye Lyrics

Eyes open wide, heavy breathing
You know exactly what you're doing
This obsession -- it rots your vision
Gouge out your eyes!
Let your bed be undefiled and keep your thinking pure
For lust destroys us all
Guard heart and mind (x2)
This is where it stops!
Do not lust in your hearts after her beauty
Or let her captivate you with her eyes
Don't let this craving bring you down and bury you
For her steps lead to the grave, as will yours
(Listen to me)
Bind these teachings on your heart, tie them on your neck
You will reap what you sow
Listen close!
You may see pleasure now, but will see torture soon
You see beauty in her face, but later see the disgrace
And even though you burn with desire, you will be burning in fire

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.
