The Platform on the Ocean Lyrics

The platform on the ocean
I hear the sound of the white caps
Out on the platform on the ocean
I hear the sound of the white caps
Out on the ocean
I hear the sound of the white caps
Out on the platform
The platform on the ocean
I hear the sound of the white caps
Out on the platform on the ocean
High above the waves, the different waves
I looked out I saw the fish
Overnight platform
Overnight wave
I looked down I saw the fish
Which way its tail was pointing and why
I looked down and saw the fish
Close as I came
I looked down, saw the fish
On the wood platform
I looked down I saw the fish
Close as I came
Overnight platform, overnight wave
I looked down and saw the fish, its over I see it
Wide angle, wide angle in a bite

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.
