How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

This song can only be fully understood in tandem with the video, and the video only in tandem with song

The main character of this story has committed an act of which she is ashamed. She tries to forget it, wish it away and hide from it. After the song, which is in the middle of the video, she appears to be able to face herself and her deeds (signified by taking of the shades and looking in the mirror), and after facing them, forgive herself (washing her hands). The song acts a transition from running away from what you have done to accepting it, and moving on.
