Coldwater Canyon Lyrics

So I find you there again
Shipwrecked on the back step
And laughing
And talking to the screen in your minds eye
Another restless daydream
That you find easier than truth
And bigger than the days you've been living though

And now you're there with your senses blown open wide
And you're tired watching 'till you're hypnotised
And you know that you'll be awake again sometime
And out of this still life

Sitting by the side of the railway line
Nowhere else to be
And changing with the light
The edges of things you only think you see

And now you're there with your senses blown open wide
And you're tied down watching 'till you're hypnotised
And you know that you'll run aground again sometime
And out of this still life

Get out of this
Get out of this
Get out of this still life

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'm not entirely certain what the imagery is specifically about, but I've found this song really comforting during particularly difficult times. I get a feeling of exhausted hope from it-- I think the overall message is "yeah, this hurts, but eventually it'll be over and at least you'll have survived it." It may not be the most optimistic message, but sometimes realistic honesty is more comforting than blind cheerfulness.

I get that theme more from the feel of the song itself than the lyrics.
