Desert Lyrics

I reflect everything, I perceive it all
I surmise just everything, I desire nothing
I need to go back to the desert, so I can feel new again
I need to go back to the desert, so I can feel fresh again
Don't care about anything
Don't care about everything, anything
Don't care about anything, except for the desert
And then I climb from this world
And head straight out to the desert
And stand under her brilliant blue
I am cleansed, cleansed by the desert
Then isolation builds, and I want to escape from this desert
Then isolation burns, and I just want to sin again
Hate, love, hope, greed, lust, fate, loss, need
Grief, trust, truth, lies, pain, want, days, time
Fades away...

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.
