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’t Follow” is a gloomy, introspective track that can be interpreted two ways:

  1. The main character is running away from home, tired of the life he has to live.
  2. A drug addict warning others not to do drugs, as you can’t turn back.
