Pyramids Lyrics

I know what i want and i`m able to grow it
But fashion dictators believe that you own it
Material things ain`t got the last laugh girl
The pyramid way is a thing of the past girl

The way people try to escape only i'll know
The latest in style is a pyramid of love
The light, the light that is calling me home
Pyramids, don`t you think you`re a dead stone

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.

This track is about self-confidence and rejecting societal pressures regarding material possessions and fleeting trends. It speaks of opposing the "fashion dictators" who impose their views on what one should own, and desire. Materialistic items do not have lasting value and following the pyramid way, possibly a metaphor for conforming to societal expectations, is outdated. The repeated mention of pyramids, coupled with the line "don't you think you're a dead stone," could be a metaphorical critique of societal structures that restrict individual freedom and creativity; Society is built on social structures with the powerful being on the top and weak on the bottom.
