Sidewalks Remnants Lyrics

As a flower eases its way from the sidewalk, I see it
Its color possesses the town
Creating all the bystanders to frown

They don't know the significance of this
It's time they find out
It's time they know the significance of this

As I walk up to it
There's nothing more
I've got to find a way out

These thorns are protected by the sidewalk
Grab the sun and carry on

As I walk up to it gracefully
I'm stopped and astounded by its thorns

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 think this is about a girl... he talks about the girl as a flower. using that as a metaphor.

"As I walk up to it gracefully I'm stopped and astounded by its thorns"

as he walks up to this girl he stops, surprised by how thorn&damaged she is. not a flower, a girl. a flower, metaphorically speaking.

"These thorns are protected by the sidewalk Grab the sun and carry on"

its thorns are covered. like the girl is hiding something from everyone. she's pretending to be something she's not, or just covered as in hiding the real truth about her to everyone.

eek.. that's just what i think. :]
