Dope Machines Lyrics

You keep me up some nights
Trying to figure what you mean
I don't know if it's right
I don't know what you're asking
When you laugh and you say
I was only joking

And it still feels wrong
I'm always asking these questions
Are you just playing dumb
And trying to get a reaction
When you laugh and you say
I was only joking

Got our eyes on screens
All of these dope machines
Isn't it funny how they feel so much like dreams
Am I trying too hard
Or am I trying at all

I see it in your eyes
I feel it in my bones
You coming out tonight
You gonna end up alone
Just so I could pretend
I was only joking

Got our eyes on screens
All of these dope machines
Isn't it funny how they feel so much like dreams
Am I trying too hard
Or am I trying at all

I've got three or four things
I've always wanted to tell you
I got two or three secrets
I don't think you could handle
Little closer to me
I was never joking

Come a little closer to me
I was never joking
I was never joking

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.
