Helicopters Lyrics

I couldn't have stopped it or stayed awake
Now caught in the rafters to veil a trace

You covered a vision it's all I had
Now drink to your poison to feel the stab

Ticking like a time bomb
Ticking like a time bomb

I landed here to breathe
I landed here to breathe
But I never felt this strange

Await for an inlay to monitor
But notice that my hands shake and my vision blurred

Dimming till the lights off
Dimming till the lights off

I landed here to breathe
I landed here to breathe
I landed here to breathe
But I never felt this strange
(x2)

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 about being misguided in thoughts and rationalization. So many times a fear surfaces as to what kind of truth one is following. If one could step back from the current situation and see from an outside perspective, the justification for their particular actions would be questioned. Unfortunately hindsight occurs after the effect was cycled completely by the cause. The idea would be to question one's heart in a repetitive motion as to create such a fine filter that hindsight could literally be grasped before it's too late. Of course it wouldn't be called hindsight at that point. It may just be called self accountability.' - Falling Up
