My Cosmos Is Mine Lyrics

Don't play with my world
Don't mess with my mind
Don't question my space-time
My cosmos is mine

Don't toy with my heart
Don't knock down my shrines
Don't alter my headlines
My cosmos is mine

No war, no war, no war
No more, no more, no more, no more
No fear, no fear, no fear, no fear
Not here, not here, not here, not here
No rain, no clouds, no pain, no shrouds
No final breaths, no senseless deaths

Don't stare at my soul
I swear it is fine (Don't mess with my mind)
Its borders are outlined (Don't question my space-time)
My cosmos is minе (My cosmos is mine)
My cosmos is mine
My cosmos is mine (Don't play with my world)
My cosmos is minе (Don't mess with my mind)
My cosmos is mine (Don't question my space-time)
My cosmos is mine

(Don't play with my world)
(Don't mess with my mind)
(Don't mess with my mind)

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.

This came from an interview with Martin.

“ [The last track that I wrote] is also the first song on the album, 'My Cosmos Is Mine'. I wrote it shortly after Russia had invaded Ukraine. I thought, "How much should we still bear? What else will be thrown at us?" And my first reaction was to say: I will pull myself back into my little world, leave me alone. The song is about, when dealing with powerlessness, protecting your inner self from the attacks of the world and to, together with your loved ones, prefer to hide somewhere. Which is of course rather shortsighted, because we have to accept the responsibility of our planet's wellbeing, or else no one will be left anymore”
