Sparkplug Lyrics

fortunes wide, I'm riding on
(through the spectrum, the spectrum)
you wanna tumble with me, I'll take you out
(with election, election)
don't bother to retreat, we'll hunt you down
(we've connections, connections)
we will not stop until we find out who did this

well okay, we'll hear you out
but first we'll tie you down and show you just what pain's about
we'll give water to the children, we'll all drink wine
just shut your mouth and listen, you'll be just fine

suicide will not provide
(intervention, suspension)
the coil we've received is winding down
(to the tension, the tension)
there is no longer a need for any kind
(of complexion, complexion)
we will not stop until we have all the pieces

when the fans of the plan start to scream and shout
well they open up their mouths and only bees come out
that's what you get for going swimming in the lake of fire
then you disconnect the phone and ride the snake
two nails to the hand is all it takes
when the ugly ones will steal your face

(stand up, come out)

that's right, we want you to stand up now

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.

Okay uhhh... these lyrics don't make any sense. Let's try THESE instead:

Fortunes wide I'm riding on through the spectrum, the spectrum You wanna tumble with me, I'll take you out with election, election Don't bother to retreat We'll hunt you down - we've connections, connections We will not stop until we find out who did this

Well okay, we'll hear you out But first we'll tie you down and show you just what pain's about We'll give water to the children, we'll all drink wine Just shut your mouth and listen, it will be just fine

Suicide Will not provide intervention, suspension The coil we've received Is winding down to the tension, the tension There is no longer a need For any kind of complexion, complexion We will not stop until we have all the pieces

When the fans of the plan start to scream and shout Well they opened up their mouths and only beasts came out That's what you get for going swimming in the lake of fire (STAND UP) Yeah (COME OUT) Yeah Then you disconnect the phone and ride the snake Two nails to the hand is all it takes When the ugly ones will steal your face (STAND UP) Yeah (COME OUT) Yeah (STAND UP) Yeah (COME OUT) Yeah (STAND UP) Yeah (COME OUT) Yeah (STAND UP) Yeah (COME OUT)

THAT'S RIGHT WE WANT YOU TO STAND UP NOW

These lyrics are INTENSE. Gosh I don't even know where to begin. It probably has a different meaning than this, but when I read it I see nothing but religious allegories. Jesus being hunted down, being tied down and tortured and nailed to the cross. Also, "fans of the plan" referring to what's regarded as "Satan's plan" which was that we wouldn't have to choose between right and wrong, we'd come here and all live righteously and go back to heaven. Then he and his followers were cast out. From then on they could speak only evil. Guess that's what you get for going swimming in the lake of fire. And "the ugly ones will steal your face" could be referring to both depictions of the devil as twisted ugly and monstrous (when Lucifer was not regarded as monstrous or ugly at all) and to the Antichrist, who is evil but will make everyone believe he is actually Jesus.

And of course, all of this can be related to anyone else however they choose to relate it, but... wow. Powerful.

Okay uhhh... these lyrics don't make any sense. Let's try THESE instead:
