Provider Lyrics

Hey!

Don't you know
It is hard to let go from the world where you've grown
Don't you know
It is hard to let go from the world where you've grown
Don't you know
It is hard to let go from the world where you've grown
Don't you know
It is hard to let go from the world where you've grown

I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear this
I could see it your way, yeah

I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear this
I don't want to be afraid-aid, yeeeah
yeeeah

Don't you know that I can find this
I won't be afraid of you
I can see my hearts together
I want you to feed me too

Don't you know
It's hard to dig deep
Can't you see
Its hard to let go
There you be
I don't fear you
Wipe your feet
You've walked on my territory

Don't you know
It is hard to let go from the world where you've grown
Don't you know
It is hard to let go from the world where you've grown

I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear this
I don't want to be afraid, yeah

I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear this
I don't want to see your face, yeah

I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear this
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear this
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear this
I don't want to be afraaaid

Hey!

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.

I think this is a song is about a troubled young person facing the provider who made his or her life a living hell. I think this song might be actual conversation between these two. The young person wants to be free of this evil being wants to provide for himself. That's my view anyway.

I really like the guitar and orchestration on this song. When it comes on, it's just amazing how every flows together so well. It's a sonic experiment worthy of comparisons to Led Zeppelin in how grandiose but contained it is. It's magnificent, one of the best songs ever written.
