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

“Don, Aman” is the 3rd track off the 1991 classic album Spiderland by Slint.

A fan favorite, the song introduces an episode in the life of Don, a lonely man who’s feeling disconnected at a party. He is presented glancing at people interacting and wishing that he could do the same. Don’s hesitation and involuntary divorce from common social interactions lead him to a better understanding of himself and a dubious realization of what he had to do in regards to his own modus operandi.

Genius Answer

Actually, I wrote that song. It’s kind of about a guy at a party, and he goes outside to kind of… get back in touch with himself, ’cause he feels uncomfortable at the party.
