Time to Contemplate (BARB) Lyrics

It's the same day a year ago
We wandered down the rotting stairs and out the door
So maybe you'll come back home
Rusty nail and electric chair
Pseudo smiles and erotic stare
Cos once you've gone you can't come back
No you can't come back
No you can't come back

Time to contemplate
And time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate

Now my luck has gone
No more lady hanging off my arm
Tingled up in my curly hair
And my heart's shoe lace has come undone
Yeah has come undone
Yes come undone

Time to contemplate
And time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate
Time to contemplate/plate
Time to contemplate/four

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.
