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 [?]

What did Dido say about "Quiet Times"?
Genius Answer

On an interview with Canada.com about her Greatest Hits compilation where “Quiet Times” is featured, Dido talked about the song’s meaning:

A very personal song about being close to someone who is depressed and won’t admit it. It’s the hollow feeling of being with someone without actually being with them, if that makes sense.
