Starlover Lyrics

Paint your lips, things fall apart
Flowers of hate caress my skin
Spend my time sucked up inside
Mutilation kick of all you believe in

Starlover you're just a souvenir
Starlover you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so
Feel like faces without kisses

Sterile wants spin in my head
Don't need culture, I spit it out
Twist and fall, wounds don't choke
Piss on records, wanna see you dead

A body voice born under torture
Leper cult disciples of a still born Christ
I worship stone so lance my eyes
Miles apart from anyone
Soma airwaves of killing oxygen
We queue consuming anything
Hate all songs
Aesthetic slavery now

Starlover you're just a souvenir
Starlover you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so
A body voice born under torture

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.
