Circadian Rhythm Lyrics

Blind spot of a lifetime this litter
Pretty fingers on the phone
Non violent grace, this religion
No one wants to be alone

Reclaim the rust that northern birds take
It like a song that in their feet
Bandeloro on the radio
Take a little time on Cherokees street

Chaos and precision with a smile
Sipping soma in the shade
Thoughts for the plane with brown eyes waiting
Guitar, careless whirlwind, belief gets made

Carrying on so far under the cross
Manifestos to keep us sane
The time is so weary of conflict
Silent answers, silent blame

I can't stand anymore decisions
I can't stand anymore decisions

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.

Jay said on the website this song has to do with the varying sleeping patterns while traveling on the road/on tour.

His voice reminds me of Eddie Vedders.

Surprised there is so little about this song. While the first two verses seem random in a certain sense but still possibly meaningful, the third verse makes plain sense to me and may tie the whole song together. We carried on for 2000 years with Christianity. We finally gave it up, but had to come up with something to replace, otherwise we have no meaning or hope. He throws in the word 'manifesto'. referencing (probably) the the most famous manifesto, the communist (and atheistic) manifesto. About 100 years after the atheists took charge of half the globe, we're still lost. Now no one is sure about anything. Silent answers, silent blame.

Maybe I'm reaching.
