Seaside Lyrics

The shore worn
and born black
I love that
I love that

Seaside
Seaside

The hunter in heaven
is thunder a companion by

My side
My side

Now seen Unseen
Now seen Unseen

The sea is calm
The path on high
It swoops down
to lye by

Your side
Your side
Your side

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.

These are the lyrics from the book that came with the cd. Also, at the bottom of this page it says:

"The next time you're in the water Pretend the water's alive and give it a kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss and you will feel love and stop pretending and just keep on kissing."

Oh Devendra, you so crazy

but seriously, great song!
