Pent Up Lyrics

whenever i'm alone with you i keep to myself it's not because i'm bored with you it must be my health i feel like i'm a little kid afraid to go to school i lock myself inside my room and act like a fool i don't know why and i don't miss it i wanna cry and no one's listening i don't know why the phone keeps ringing but i'm not home or maybe i am the world outside is not the same i don't give a damn i like around in bed all day the ceiling's all i see you try to take me out the door but i won't leave -chorus- on my own i'm afraid all my feelings seem the same feel the same

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'm surprised this song doesn't have any comments --- It's amazing!

Anyways, the meaning's kinda self-explanatory when you read over the lyrics a bit. It's about not wanting to leave home, just wanting to stay where you are and isolate yourself. It's a feeling we all (should) have; I know I feel like that the majority of the time.

These guys are really awesome; they really nailed it with this song, one of my favorites.
