Falling Figures Lyrics

Why do the weak clouds here hold so many castles?
It rains to show when she cries.
I was told it was a cape to cover
To keep us safe from the rain.
Are you sorry?
We are hungry with dreams for me
Are you so?
We are hungry with dreams for me
Are you so?
We are...
As i watch you cry i realise, we are mortal.
As you say i'm sorry
I'm sorry for me.
Why did you blame yourself?
I said I'm sorry for her.
Scream as i say i'm sorry for her.

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.

i know i added this up but i simply had too. this band are so intense, they need to be noticed. my favourite ever live band, along with planes mistaken for stars and sparta, they are just too brilliatn describe. to me this is about a relationhsip breaking up, simpole but sweet. as i watch her cry i realise we are mortal to me show's the guy realising that their relationship can;t be as good as it seems and nothing lasts forever. dreams meaning things that are immortal but never really came across to be realised. amazing. x
