Seventh Wave Lyrics

Till the end fo time, the world stops, we all stand still
Let the floods come as they always do, watch the sun break through
We are memories and signs, some of what we leave behind,
waiting for the wave
We are fragments made of time, we are broken, we are fine

There is something, repetition
Real life, not some exhibition

I wouldn't wish it on you, I wouldn't wish it on myself
The sanitorium is overworked and cannot help

They steal you from a future life, you've got to stop hurt
A thousand ways you can escape, disappear and fade away, tell me that I'm wrong
All the strength can make you weak, chasing you and chasing me all night

There is something, repetition
Real life, not some exhibition

I wouldn't wish it on you, I wouldn't wish it on myself
The sanitorium is overworked and cannot help
The ballast needs your spade, you make it back like no one else

There is something, repetition
Real life, real life, real life, real...

I wouldn't wish it on you, I wouldn't wish it on myself
The ballast needs your spade, you make it back like no one else
The sanitorium is overworked and cannot help
I wouldn't wish it on you, I wouldn't wish it on myself

The Heat of Your Love

There is something, repetition
Real life, not some exhibition

I wouldn't wish it on you, I wouldn't wish it on myself
The sanitorium is overworked and cannot help

There is something, repetition
Real life, not some exhibition

I wouldn't wish it on you, I wouldn't wish it on myself
The sanitorium is overworked and cannot help
The ballast needs your spade, you make it back like no one else

There is something, repetition
Real life, real life, real life, real...

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 living and the fact that death is ahead of us. When you die, all you've basically left is a memory and a few other things. The flood and the end of time is the death of you and we're all just little fragments in a long life strand of the world. Living and death happens every single day because it is real life and it's repetitive. Sure, you wouldn't wish it on someone to die but it happens.
