Fix Lyrics

Feeling independent
I made it through another day
Having a wonderful time
I haven't felt the sickness
I think I may have scared it away
Looks like I'm going to be fine
My friend down on the corner says
"It's going to be all right"
He's handing me a needle and he sells me a fix
And says, "I'll see you here tomorrow"
Feeling self-sufficient
It's nice to finally be in control
I'd have it no other way
I do it when I want to let the good times roll
Each and every day
It's going to be good times
Pats me on the shoulder

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.

Fix. this song just shows how addiction can make you think that you have total control when in fact, the drug is in the drivers seat. David displays an addicts attitude perfectly. the up-beat tempo is nice too.

Singer / Songwriter David Bazan struggled with heroin abuse around the time the "Whole EP" was recorded. It's just another song about his trials with it.
