Purr Snickety Lyrics

All your feelings are the same
Turn around, look around, you'll see
And all your troubles still remain
Set them down, take what you long to me

I'm your pillar of stone
So when the wind cause' you to roam
You can call this house your home
Only you

I've got reasons of my own
But you might say I'm nothing way along
All your love won't change
A million miles and a thousand smiles away
All your love won't change
A million miles and a thousand smiles away

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 wish everytime i listened to this song I was looking to the sea, since its the only one thats "mutable"....but I what describes best is that feeling you when arrive home:the world wheary you down, things dont go your way, and then he dreams with horizons "a million miles and a thousand smiles away" but deep inside he knows everything will remain, same faces, same loves,same smiles, nothing to call is own... so melancholic this song
