Constrictor Lyrics

Notes only ring
if the strings pulled tight
Bells only peal
if they're swung in time
On the surface,
the world pulling down
Like a boa constrictor
Pulling inward, my breath drawn out
----------------------------------------
Flesh is weak but the spirit wills me on
I must steel myself for everything to come
Flesh is weak but the spirit wills me on
I must steel myself for everything to come
----------------------------------------
I take such pleasure
Avoiding pain
All futile efforts
Even out the same
I’ve got a habit
of not standing straight
I must raise up my head
Draw my spine to suspend the weight
----------------------------------------
Flesh is weak but the spirit wills me on
I must steel myself for everything to come
Flesh is weak but the spirit wills me on
I must steel myself for everything to come

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.
