National Anthem of Nowhere Lyrics

We are words that float through her veins
Her sexual use of pain
And she sends her sailors in
Well they don’t come back
And they don’t get in

We are sailors drunk as wine
They forget the house in time
They begin upon the rocks
Too many arms
On an octopus

National Anthem of Nowhere
Winds come trolling
The sea don’t care
National Anthem of Nowhere
Winds come trolling
The sea don’t care

This sea I cannot save
From across the waves
With a knife that’s sure to kill
Following herself
Suits the dollar bill

Sleep comes
This can’t last long
Darling, watch the sunrise
Sleep comes
This can’t last long
Darling, watch the sunrise

National Anthem of Nowhere
Winds come trolling
The sea don’t care
National Anthem of Nowhere
Winds come trolling
The sea don’t care
National Anthem of Nowhere
Winds come trolling
The sea don’t care
National Anthem of Nowhere
Winds come trolling
The sea don’t care

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.

The national anthem of nowhere is the song of the sea. This personification of the sea is a woman that men cannot conquer "float through her veins/she sends her sailors in/they don't come back/the sea don't care."
