Ships At Sea Lyrics

the current pulled me under
my lungs were useless
dragged to the bottom of the river bed
dragged to the bottom of the river bed
drop anchor im here to stay
drop anchor or leave
drop anchor im here to stay
drop anchor or leave
gradually
my breath was voiced from me
my lungs filled with water, salty and deep
my lungs filled with water, salty and deep
drop anchor im here to stay
drop anchor or leave
drop anchor im here to stay
drop anchor or leave
the mystery and her ships at sea
set sail for islands of three
they gave ourselves to the briny deep
drop anchor im here to stay
drop anchor or leave
drop anchor im here to stay
drop anchor or leave

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.
