Extreme Occident Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went to the far right
Then I went to the far left
I tried to recover my center of gravity

[Chorus]
I guess I'm lost
I had to pay the cost
The thing that hurt me most
Was that I wasn't lost

[Verse 2]
I came from the Midwest
Then I went to the Far East
I tried to discover, my own identity

[Chorus]
I guess I’m lost
I paid the handsome cost
The thing that hurt the most
Was that I wasn't lost
I wasn't lost

[Bridge]
No, I wasn't lost
It was a different feeling
A mix of lucidity, and craziness
But I wasn't lost, you believed me
I was right, and I've got the right
To choose my own life
Like a full circle
Life is a circle, life is a circle, life is a circle
Life is a circle, life is a circle, life is a circle
Life is a circle, life is a circle, life is a circle
Aquilo que mais magoa
É que eu não estava perdida
Aquilo que mais magoa
É que eu não estava perdida

[Chorus]
I guess I'm lost
I had to pay the cost
The thing that hurt me most
Was that I wasn't lost
I wasn't lost

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.
