Planet Rain Lyrics

What have we learned?
From this wee exercise
Where do we go?
Now that it's over
What do we say?
What are we doing here?
Everything's changed
Everything's stayed the same
But it's quiet now, quiet now
Cause it's the end of the world
What if we've changed?
What if we're finished here
Can we be saved?
Does anybody even care?
So many dream
So many make the grade
So many fail
So many fade away
Show you've a soul by crying
Sorry, already
I'm so sorry
So sorry
I know now
So slow down
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

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 can imagine that when you die, this song is what you hear.

this is one of my favorite Devy songs. i truly think it's fantastic. it sounds like he's talking about a dying man finally understanding how he should have been living his life. the first half seems to be talking about the man looking at his life, trying to understand what has been accomplished, while the second part is giving the advice to other people.
