Sand (Eric's Trip) Lyrics

i'd like to believe/in one thing that you say to me
would you like to leave?/when i try to talk at all, it all just turns out to be
turn on the stove/in the little tiny rooms that our friends call a home
my head fills with heat/from the knife in your hand to mine
i'd like to understand/what you think about, why it seems so bad
it's only escape/from everything i know i'm weak, i know that i'm sad
turn on the stove/in the little tiny rooms that our friends call a home
my head fills with heat/from the knife in your hand to my sand

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.
