Dopamine Lyrics

I sat and watched as you decayed
Then turned to walk away
The saddest thing I've seen
Pathetic as the human race
Ashamed to be the same
As all you fucking pigs

Give me that feeling that I love
You can be my only
Give me that feeling that I know so well

Dopamine to help me weed the pain
Don't wanna feel the sting no more
I don't believe a word you even say
I'm leading you astray
There's something better, watch it through that door

Don't ever try and get between
Me and what I need, so ugly when I feed
Pathetic as a human being
Ashamed to be the same
We carry all a name

Give me that feeling that I love
You can be my only
Give me that feeling that I know so well

Dopamine to help me weed the pain
Don't wanna feel the sting no more
I don't believe a word you even say
I'm leading you astray
There's something better, watch it through that door

I'm using you, you're using me
We use the world to feed the beast

Dopamine to help me weed the pain
Don't wanna feel the sting no more
I don't believe a word you even say
I'm leading you astray
There's something better, watch it through that door
There's something better, watch it through that door
There's something better, watch it through that door

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.

Sean Danielsen of Smile Empty Soul:

"The video just portrays an addiction to media and ignoring personal relationships, it keeps it pretty simple, but the song is about a lot of things combined into one thing. I like to allow people to judge what they think the song might mean with the lyrics, I won’t go too deep into it, but I always try to put more than one meaning into my songs these days, to find it to be a little fun exercise."
