Plight 217 Lyrics

She made it
Stumbling in over her baggage
Taking it all on board
She couldn't take much more
But it's under control
Where she can keep an eye and hold
'Cause you don't ever want to lose it in transit

Find your seat
Fish out your walkman, Kate
Find your breath again, you've had to run
All the way to the gate to barely make it
What is it that you can't settle back there
That you settle so far back in your chair?
Buckled up, buckling under
Under sunglasses
They're to prevent this sight, not for protection
For now and not for Brisbane
A tissue balled in a fist
Headphones hissing away in your ears
A crackling ascent, loud and over the engines

The inertia isn't nursing
Braced to arms not at all embracing
Could this momentum over rob you of your weight?
At least you've got kinesis' blessing
And the heavens to thank you're further away
What is it that you can't settle down there
That you can't settle down while you're up here?
Might this ending hard
Not calm down easier in just an hour'n a half?

Where You Are

She made it
Stumbling in over her baggage
Taking it all on board
She couldn't take much more
But it's under control
Where she can keep an eye and hold
'Cause you don't ever want to lose it in transit

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.
