World Invitation Lyrics

Inside it feels like you’re no one
It’s fine, evaluate it with caution
Started thinking it’s all your fault
Can’t salvage your damaged goods
Or solve all these problems we have
The problems you only imagine
The world’s invitation waiting for your call
Leave your own limitations
No one cares at all
This is no special occasion
This will turn out the way it should be
Insecure, we’ll solve these problems we have
The problems we’ve only imagined
The world’s invitation waiting for your call
Leave your own limitations
No one cares at all
Save for people you know
It’s hardest to let go
Let me out of it

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 love the floatiness to this song. I had a hard day, but this helped me just let go of that stress.
