Everybody's Stalking Lyrics

Been feeling high
Then feeling low
Strap your hands across my engines
I'm not a broke so please don't bend me

Your like neon sign
Just burn so bright
Penetrates like an infection
Gives me feeling I can't mention

Maybe all I need
You need to
Don't wait for me
I'll wait for you

Gonna follow you around
Gonna wear you down
Don't want to alienate you
As long as it might take you

Things come in ones
And double up to twos
Don't want to rain on your prossession
Only seeking you obsession

It might take a little time
Got all the time we need
I'm not here to try and fool you
Just trying to break down thru you
That's wasn't right
Then nothings wrong
I've gotta feeling its alright
Gotta keep you in my sights

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 song needs it's lead in to really make sense. This is the second song on the Hour of Bewilderbeast album after "The Shining". The shining is about pure honest love, not just love for another person, but for life. The song fades into the bitter, lurking rhythm of "Everybody's Stalking". It is like the antithesis of "The Shining" and it fading one into the other shows that Damon believes their is a thin line between chasing love and stalking.

I love the way The Shining ends and this starts instantly after. Mmmm. But it's a song about stalking which makes it good.
