Nesting Behaviour Lyrics

You've been giving me away to other men, to other men
Most things are born golden until they start to notice
Oh I was on your side, I was on your side

I gathered twigs between your eyes until they fell between your eyelashes
Wove my hair into the bare places and mashed it down for the evening

I preen my feathers in the old milk that you saved for me
I wear this dress of indifference and find it quite becoming

You say you need me now - oh shut your dirty mouth
One ??? hard times, I salt my vein for ?? crimes
Oh I was on, I was on...

If they've given me away, if they've given me away
You always made it easy, reminding me not to bloom
Reminding me not to bloom, reminding me not to bloom

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.
