Uniontown Lyrics

Strange morning, and even stranger day. I took my thoughts for a walk in the backyard. Digging for dreams I found them buried there, and in my mind I was a king. Living lifetimes in a day, in this fieldtown. Dreaming high on warehouse rooves, where lilies bend like men with broken backs. Street cars come humming down on pot-holed streets where our past is dead and lying. Living lifetimes in a day, in this fieldtown. (oh how we shudder 'neath that sword) It moved to me like music through a room and now, now I live for song. Have heart and hang the past. Quiet the softer side. From here I go on laughing. Quiet comes the end this time. I'm finding system in these big thoughts. I'm thinking thoughts that shake the world that we all come from. Living lifetimes in a day, in this fieldtown.

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.

a very nice song with great lyrics. i think it's about growing up in a small town and then one day you just realize that there's something more to life than what the community in a small town can offer. In the c-part of the song, the narrator has found out what it is that he wants to do with himself (it moved to me like music through a room and now i live for song). i like the way these lyrics are so simple. you don't need the most abstract and difficult words or cut-n-paste-poetry to make emotional lyrics.
