Drifting Lyrics

Mother Mary, feel me prevail
You're not anything at all
Drifting, fading, clean, sharp detail
You're not anything at all
Stationary, vivid and clear
You're not anything at all
Mother Mary, save your tears
I'm not anything at all

I don't think that I, I don't think that I
Can feel anything at all, and I...

Mother Mary, broken and pale
You're not anything at all
Watching, waiting, withered and frail
You're not anything at all
Visionary, wasted, stagnant years
You're not anything at all
Mother Mary, silence your fears
I'm not anything at all

Mother Mary, feel me fade
Hear me whisper, hear me fade
Drifting, waiting, feel me fade
In the distance, far 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.

A woman for whom one feels a mix of reverence and resentment. Conflicting messages of intimidation and hope, followed by cognitive dissonance and melancholy, and finally numbness.
