Lullaby Lyrics

…pulling the strings for centuries
any time that I’m on
you can sing on an on
when I spike, then I value
you could bid it up, bid it up
I don’t care as long as I fall
I don’t care, it’s the enemy
you little shit
as long as I fall, I don’t care
it’s the enemy

any creed or any color
he’s upset for what he did
you could sanitize the prince of visine
you could bid it up, bid it up
I don’t care as long as I fall
I don’t care, it’s the enemy
you little shit
as long as I fall, I don’t care
it’s the enemy

pulling the strings for centuries
playing a lullaby

flowers fall in all directions
it’s the tongue kiss
the joie de vivre
as we fell in and out of love
I thought about the century
I don’t care as long as I fall
I don’t care, it’s the enemy
you little shit
as long as I fall, I don’t care
it’s the enemy

pulling the strings for centuries
playing a lullaby

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.

Sounds like it might have something to do with the stock market. "When I spike, then I value..." One of my favorite songs. It reminds me of something, and I love the explosions of guitar.

okay well a lot of this song makes no sense to me (and probably not to anyone), but there is one part that I feel like I understand: pulling the strings for centuries/ playing a lullaby

I think this refers to some group, person, or force that has been controlling the world for many hundreds of years... it sounds like some sort of conspiracy theory like "the man" or the masons or the rich or something. and the "lullaby" refers to the way that this group in power tranquilizes or pacifies the population... kind of like the matrix, where the machines are in control and humans are in their "lullaby" world of the matrix

the repetition of "I don't care" seems to be referencing this, saying whatever I don't care that they're in control or perhaps it's sarcastic and saying people don't care cause we're complacent

what I really can't figure out is "I don't care as long as I fall" Why would he want to fall?

Why would he want to fall?

What about "fall" in love?

"I don't care as long as I fall in love", maybe?
