A Song With No Words Lyrics

here are some words. will you take them away? some better ways for what they mean to say: puzzles and rhymes, geography and time, or a kiss, like praying. we know, unknowing, to let nobody in this armor, the thinnest skin. i only want to breathe you in. mediated by electricity. year and a day, all curiosity. touch and defy impossibility. is one thing in this world sane? we know, unknowing, to let nobody in this armor, the thinnest skin. but i will know you, reveal and revel in, if i can only begin. will i breathe, will i breathe you in? i celebrate blue eyes that blaze new sun from your city of rain. no dawn ever brought me so awake. let this begin. will i breathe, will i breathe you in?

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 absolutely adore the riffage in this song, the guitar sounds so haunting.

My favourite Burning Airlines song, although I prefer Mission: Control as an album.
