New Tokyo Lyrics

don't run away, so inclined to take the easy way
don't cause a scene, don't decide you are through
you're not so tough, things are rough, find a better way
something gets a hold of me when my head gets inside of you
call you, this is for you
i will see you from a new view
new tokyo is calling you
you've got a way that distracts me from my everyday
not much to say, on our way, so let us through
we're not afraid of the harmful things that you might say
you might be right, we might be wrong
be strong, get ready to...
we're not giving up
even after heavy casulties
things are looking up
songs are catching like it's some disease
your invention of some cruelty... oh please

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.
