Dragonflies Lyrics

My dreams are food for dragonflies I feed on their memories, I was afraid to eat them for myself --God knows me? I blew it. Are you okay with the pain? I see the swelling in your smile is dry. I've said to you: "I'd do anything to cut into your heart again" but, no love doesn't satisfy. I can taste that wetting need, such passionless devouring, damp through every one of your teeth, back until it hits your spine. And down the old chord where it spills in your stomach [yes, we sift and sieve] to collect dream after dream after dream after dream as I'll dig into space, over impressions adn anticipating I will meet you again, I will find you in my dreams

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.
