Quiet Lyrics

violence has no charm still i'm waiting for your arm someone said goodbye and now no one misses you and they might see you around in this quiet little town talking of islands and the knife you have still in your back and they might see you there saying no one ever cared i still remember i still remember how soon you forget

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.

this song is just over a minute and is nothing like anything Bad Astronaut or Lagwagon have done, yet it still manages to kick so much ass

This is a great song but how come the lyrics to Off The Wagon aren't on here? That is an even better song.

Well. Nobody has really commented on the meaning of this song. To me, it reminds me of Vietnam. When we went to Vietnam, nobody wanted us to go there. People protested like mad, but there was a draft. People who went and served mostly hated it and wanted to go home. once they got home they had mixed reactions people welcoming them and people being mad they went (stabbing them in the back). A similar thing is happening in Iraq "how soon we forget"
