Aftercrash Lyrics

What strange and lovely dreams
Crashing through the streets
Driving off the cliff
Smashing on the stones
Tossed out to the sea
To drift, and sink, and sleep

And now my eyes are glued
To signs, and railings, and curbs
Drive and drive and drive
But where's the finish line?
Is there a trophy there for me?
Oh, any consolation's fine

Drag my body
Drag my body
Drag me from this constant car crash
Pick out all the glass
All the shards have made me hard
Oh, I just can't live like that
Crash after crash

After crash, after crash
After crash, after crash
After crash, after crash
After crash, after crash
After crash, after crash

Oh, I won't live like that
In the shrapnel of the past
And now my eyes open
Why, why, oh, why

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.
