Diffuser Lyrics

Bludgen me with anything worth saying one thousand times/
Bury me in genius I'll welcome the suffocating lines/
Just how much breath can one person waste/
My ears your mouth I'm hearing your sickening taste/
Paint me a movie/
Sing me a book/
Make it non-fiction with the friction and dirty looks/
I cut out my tounge I have bled the wrong words/
We scream into filters just asking to be heard/
Paint me a movie/
Sing me a book/
Make it non-fiction with friction and dirty looks/
All I can give is what you take/

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.

Cover art for Diffuser lyrics by Ghost, The

Sometimes I feel like this when the media relentlessly covers the same old story. You get it from all sides: on TV, in newspapers, on the internet, and everywhere you go. And most of it is celebrity trash or full of 'sickening taste' anyway.

Everyone seems to have their own opinion which they desperatly want to be heard, and sometimes when you voice you opinion, people make you feel that your opinion is wrong. (I cut out my tounge I have bled the wrong words.)

People also seem to have an obsesion with watching and reading about 'non-fiction' and reality. People like to see human suffering as it happens and where it happens, and they just watch and do nothing about it.

It's amazing how The Ghost can produce a song with such a short amount of lyrics but a ton of meaning. And I'm sure there's a lot more of it.
