Sweet Lyrics

BROKEN PEOPLE, HOLLOW AND FEEBLE
THEY'RE ROLLING UP THE HILL
ROTTEN INGRATE, STUPID MISTAKE
THEY'RE ROLLING UP THE HILL

WISHING WELLS AND COCKLE SHELLS
THEY SWIM THROUGHOUT MY HEAD
MY EYES ARE CLOSING SLOWLY AS I'M LOWERING MY HEAD

WANTING AND GETTING, SILENT SETTING
THEY'RE ROLLING UP THE HILL
ROBBING, BURNING, WASTED LEARNING
THEY'RE ROLLING UP THE HILL

WISHING WELLS AND COCKLE SHELLS
THEY SWIM THROUGHOUT MY HEAD
MY EYES ARE CLOSING SLOWLY AS I'M LOWERING MY HEAD

BREAKING IN, IN MY EYES
I CAN'T SEE LIKE THIS
I CAN'T LET GO, PLEASE HELP ME DOWN
I CAN'T BE LIKE THIS
SEEING THEM, THEM ALL AROUND
HOW CAN THEY BE SO SWEET

THEY PANIC SO, JUST HOLD THEM DOWN
I COULD LIVE LIKE THIS
I'M CLOSING IN, HEY, ALL AROUND
I COULD LIVE LIKE THIS
HEARING THEM IN MY HEAD
HOW CAN THEY BE SO SWEET

THEY'RE ALL AROUND
HEY HEAR ME SAY THEY'RE ALL AROUND
THEY'RE SO SWEET

THEY'RE ALL AROUND
THEY'RE SO SWEET

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.

hmmm...i believe this song is about people who are "broken, hollow and feeble" and have problems but they are still "sweet"...still willing to go on. and the person who sees all these sweet people can't be like that, she/he is broken and can't see the good, sweet side of life. and he/she is surrounded by these people who have hope and he/she is jealous and cannot have that hope.

It is about being seduced and side tracked by naughty unhealthy people.
