Pygmalion's Dream Lyrics

The hand creates
And chiseled stone
Rises from beneath the striking
Hidden here below the fracture
The beautiful is corporal
The beautiful is real

I write these dreams
To make this world
Something more
Than hate and greed
I cast a vision
To change the tides
To give this world
What I have seen
Find the fate within the stone

The Cyphered dreams
Of love enduring
No winds shall come
To move this stone
For here I plant
My gift to you
A monument
Within the mind
The stone is breathing
The heart is beating
And my soul is present
In every word...
Galatea lives
And she will love you
While angels comfort
Should you fall...

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.

Obviously about Pygmalion. He doesn't like "real women" because they prostitute themselves, so he creates his ideal woman out of stone (Galatea). He falls in love with the statue, and prays to aphrodite, who takes pity on him and turns Galatea into a real woman. Galatea and Pygmalion get married and have a kid.

Not quite the story, but close enough I suppose. Pygmalion was a sculptor who refused to marry, so the women of his village prayed to Aphrodite to force him to marry. Aphrodite visited him, and he fell in love with HER, so he made a deal with her. He would make one final statue and after that, he'd marry. He carved a statue of Aphrodite, and Aphrodite realized he was in love with her, so she turned him to stone as well so he could be with Galatea (the statue).
