Esteem Lyrics

A life with a purpose, running around
We fake lust like you
An unpublished story for you
to turn the page to, like you do
so I sit quietly, I let it drift away
Feel like I could escalate away

Oh but he's such a kid
what a little delight
But he's such a kid
Your nature, that's your life
But he's such a kid

Yippee Yi Yo, Yippee Yi Yay
Yippie Yi Yo Kui Ae
What a wonderful day

Youth slips from my body as I speak
From the corner of my eye
to the corner of the street
Looking for something
Looking for nothing - beautiful
So lacking in taste
Obviously anything
You want to take it - home
I think it's a take
Youth come home
Youth grow up
Youth stay young
Youth slipping - tears
From the corner of my chin
I have a secret self esteem
your fingers slip like always
While everything becomes more real
Isn't it lovely, isn't it lonely... Go

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.
