Sifting Through Lyrics

Emotions arrive so unaware
Cannot taste my own sanity
All things scream stupidity
And how to cope has left all of who I am
This hate now starts to intrigue
Caressing, stroking me
Because I am sick of bullshit
And people's mindless ignorance

Can you take this
So strong

Am I alone on this day
Frightened of words that explain
Quite simply everyone is lame, everyone's to blame
I must be a god
I hate me for hurting who I love
My heart was trained how to shove
Now life makes me start to cling
With a crooked smile as it sings

Can you take this
So strong

Stowed away all this time inside
I'm sifting through the shade to escape the flames
I see the fire building that I just can't confine
Can you take this
(fuck this sanity)
This fucking feeling coming

Everyone's the same
Everyone is lame
Everyone's to blame
You must be a god
Word's from a fool who just don't feel right
Word's from a fool who just ain't alright
Today will pass tomorrow's sun will shine

Everyone's the same
Everyone is lame
Everyone's to blame
You must be a god

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.
