Lullaby Lyrics

Get back on your feet again
So insincere
Quiet American
I held you so dear
Get back on your feet again
I'm so into you
We met in a cinema
You fell from my view

Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind

Get back on your feet again
Nothing to say
Some of your weaker friends
Get in my away
Get back on your feet again
You always seem down
Some of your weaker friends
Don't want you around

Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Lullaby
You live in my ruined mind
Make light of all my fears
And lead me from here

Get back on your feet again
So insincere
Quiet American
I held you so dear
Get back on your feet again
Nothing to say
We met in a cinema
You got in my way

Lullaby
Stop twisting my words tonight
If you get high on life
Don't leave me behind
Lullaby
You live in my ruined mind
Make light of all my fears
And lead me from here

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.

It's just my opinion, just my guess. But isn't the song about another one song, some special one, very special for him or her; the song that somehow has come out of time, out of fashion? When that old one, but the very special song has come out of fashion, everybody tries to squeeze it, twist it and make it sound different - make it modern again. And the song is about feeling a little bit ashamed for twisting that special, old-fashioned, out-timed song ... If it could be true, which one could be that special one song the new one is written for?
