Your Capricious Soul Lyrics

Honey's got, got, got a new feeling
Honey peeled herself off the ceiling
Because God, God, God is revealing
How to serve your body
How to serve your mind
Searching your capricious soul
So you post, post, post on the weekend
And you pretend you are a seeker
When they all come loving and looking
You are writing a tell-all
Tell-all, sugar
You are leaving nothing out
Godspeed baby, blessings
Gob-smacked, baby
And this party's in your honor
Pass
Your mother's worried
Is this in your favor
And your pastor's crying
And the birds are dying
Or they might as well be
They might as well be
Now the papers calling
And the photos flashing
And the fashion's changing
Fast
Yeah, the papers calling
And the photos flashing
And the fashion's changing
Fast

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.

I think this is about how the fake plastic world of influencers and instagrammers is the kind of black hole which can swallow one up in to it, if they allow it. The song is a cautionary tale that you may end up throwing your self away in the fray of social media and all its vices, so heed the warning & be wary.
