The City Is Drowning Lyrics

Desperate plans impact hearts. Do not stop seeking what you love or you might end up loving what you find. Tie me up and blind me with your... What is time now other than my longing? Drag on my dear; you have to hurt to pull on. I could have held you from that night on. I see that desparation in your eyes. What's it like to be so far from here? Can you feel the sun? Can you feel the warmth absorb your solace expressions? Its very cold up here, a symbolic emsemble. I can feel the air, like an orchestra, tune behind the curtain. How is it possible to understand the distance when we both see the same bright stars? At night we'll scream about forefeiting, misplacing everything. We cry divisions, we love decisions, imperative exiles. Wrapped up in happiness, distorted in reality. Tie me up and blind me with your love.

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.
