A Control Group Lyrics

Advance my directive, all the way so I cant it with a smile / And in case you don't get back in time, your orphan-products they might just do the trick / I am not your yellow knot, who falls around what is found / No, I am not your yellow knot / Keep advised of her condition / As for here, things remain remarkably clear / And in case you don't step aside in time, I'd like to try them instead of option ace-sqaure / I've waited many times for this one / You come in two's, you're coming to / Buy your own, once in a lifetime / You grow cold and then / Hold your own, try not to out-do / You'll grow old and then

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 can't explain how... but it seems like it's about death. A lot of subtle hints I guess.
