Incantation Lyrics

Don't get too close - this shore is cavernous and cold
Too close is cavernous and cold
Cavernous and cold
You're collecting empty shells
Too late to scribe
Alive - in my soul
I'd rather hide - than fight you stealing my soul
A marbled ocean of steaming ghosts
They bare what's tavernous and told
A haunted ocean is cavernous and cold
I am where the fearing dwells
Too late to scribe
Alive - in my soul
I'd rather hide - than fight you stealing my soul
I'd rather hide

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.

This song is amazing. I love it so much. Obviously, it has nothing to do with literal caverns and the ocean, but more of a warning by the speaker that you should not romantically try to go after her. The speaker would rather avoid someone, then say they aren't interested straight to someones face.

This song is amazing. I agree with the above poster. The vocalists voice is one of the best I've ever heard.
