Deep Cut Lyrics

i don't know where i went
my brain is up for rent
i feel like my whole life is spent
i don't know where i went
what do you do when its already everywhere?
what do you do when nobody really cares?
what do you do while its cool to fuck with you?
what do you do?
when you believe what they say about you
and even the things you know are not true
and you can't even ask yourself
i don't know where i'm at
i think i killed my cat
i get these paranoid attacks
i don't know where i'm at
what do you do when opinions are everywhere?
what do you do when its nothing you want to hear?
what do you do when you can't think of what to do?
what do you do?
when you believe what they say about you
and even the things you know are not true
and you can't even ask yourself
gotta move on
what do you do when you don't know what to do? (gotta move on)
what do you do? (gotta move on)

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.

How did it take until 2007 for someone to comment on this amazing song? Maybe because it's probably one of Local H's most straightforward -- about a dude who's in total crisis mode and may even be losing touch with sanity. The pacing of this song complements the paranoid nature of its lyrics brilliantly, I must say.

I think this song is about someone who is very unsure and confused about things. They don't know what they're doing, or who they are. They are slowly going mad.
