Lie Down Lyrics

We're just temporary souls in your common tractor

Scraping out the mold from an old reactor
Come on pretty baby, won't you take a taste with me

Just around the corner we can find some action
What the fuck you doing with the fake(strange) reaction
When all I want to know is will you take a taste with me

If I lie down, would you lie down
If I lie down, would you lie down

I'll just wipe the pretty glow off your mouth with my sleeve
Watch your features change as it fights your blood stream
I was never sure I could see behind your eyes

Oh that merry case which could make me happy
I know it's hard to take but we can feel happy
I was never sure I could see behind your eyes

Chorus

'Cause I will shudder with the cloak that I wash my pain in
And I will scream with overflow by the rain you dropped in
Tell it, I could slowly..
Waste it, looking for the...
Ruin, we could bring it down and... slowly

Chorus

Damage, I can't see
Wasted and I can't breathe
Ruined, you could bring it down

If I lie down

Strange Eyes

We're just temporary souls in your common tractor

Scraping out the mold from an old reactor
Come on pretty baby, won't you take a taste with me

Just around the corner we can find some action
What the fuck you doing with the fake(strange) reaction
When all I want to know is will you take a taste with me

If I lie down, would you lie down
If I lie down, would you lie down

I'll just wipe the pretty glow off your mouth with my sleeve
Watch your features change as it fights your blood stream
I was never sure I could see behind your eyes

Oh that merry case which could make me happy
I know it's hard to take but we can feel happy
I was never sure I could see behind your eyes

Chorus

Damage, I can't see
Wasted and I can't breathe
Ruined, you could bring it down

If I lie down

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.

"we're just temporary souls in a comic chapter" ... "ah just wipe the gritty glow off your mouth with my sleeve" ... "in an ordinary case this could make me happy, i know it's hard to take when you can't feel happy" ... "cause i will shudder with the glow that i wash my faith in" ... "damaged, i can sew your sleeves back. Wasted, we can fall through morning. Ruined, you can bring it down with your same old story."

...well, it's what the CD insert says anyway...

For some reason this song sounds incredibly sexual. Like, mutual oral sex (sixty-nine) or something?

Well it is pretty obvious this song is about heroin -

- scraping out the mold from an old reactor (cleaning your spoon)
- come on pretty baby, won't you take a taste with me
- just around the corner we can find some action
- WATCH YOUR FEATURES CHANGE AS IT FIGHTS YOUR BLOOD STREAM
- cause I will shudder with the GLOW that I wash my pain in
- and I will scream with overflow of the rain you dropped in (cooking heroin with lemon juice)
- wasted we can fall through morning (come down)

Geez. I thought it was obvious.
