Quicksand Lyrics

have i come this far just for it to all fall down?
watching all of this success all around my town
as i sink deeper and deeper into this quicksand
i feel as though my life is slipping through my hands

so someone help me now?
someone help me please?
my hopes are too high
and the stars are too far to reach

maybe i've become resistant to thinking realistically
but the future's much more optimistic
when you're living for a fantasy
maybe i should just give up
maybe i should throw the towel in
if i accept my failure now
i won't be afraid if i never win

so someone help me now?
someone help me please?
my hopes are too high
and the stars are too far to reach

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.
