Planted in the Dark Lyrics

I just called to say

I got your message the other day
Passed it down the alleyway
Slid inside the cracks in the wall

I just called to say
I just called to say

I got your message the other day
I found a nest under my sleeve
Covered it and scratched it till I bled

Was it all a plan for me
To bury skins under the seam?
Was it all a plan for me
To bury skins under the seam?
Was it all a plan for me?

I just called to say
I just called to say
I just called to say
I just called to say

I whisper in the wind
And you're a goddamn tree
I'm gonna blow your leaves
I'm gonna blow your leaves

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.

It feels like the start of something infectious. The message is a catalyst, and everything grows out of it. Lines that suggest itchy skin or skin trapped under stitches, hint at disease. The last bit sounds pretty violent, but it is not without its charm. If you see the wind as an invisible attacker, and a tree as a large stationary target, (It is incredibly difficult to defend yourself from all sickness) then it kinda makes sense, but that's just me.
