Rotor Lyrics

Weld in place
Tripped me; what, I knew it was a waste
Killed my drive
Burn the hand that buried me alive

Slowed my pulse
Drank my blood and joined the secret cult
Pulled the shades
Little badger wants a son like me

The engine is running
Frying shit is burning me
The engine is running
Smothered in gasoline

Hailed the smoke
Shut off the gas, I'd be nodding soon
Closed my eyes
When they broke the door, I was hypnotized

The engine is running
Frying shit is burning me
The engine is running
Smothered in gasoline

Weld in place
Tripped me; what, I knew it was a waste
Killed my drive
Burn the hand that buried me alive

Steamy breath we breathe
Noisy old machine

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.

Wow, that's wrong.

Here's the actual lyrics:

Weld in place Tripped because I knew it was a waste Kill my drive Burn the hand that buried me alive

Slowed my pulse Drank my blood and joined the secret cult Pulled the shades Lit a match and watched the sunlight fade

The engine is running Friction is burning me The engine is running Smothered in gasoline

Held the smoke Shut off the gas, I'll be nodding soon Closed my eyes When they both looked north, I was hypnotized

The engine is running Friction is burning me The engine is running Smothered in gasoline

Weld in place Tripped because I knew it was a waste Kill my drive Burn the hand that buried me alive

Steaming air we breathe Noisy old machine

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

This one's definately about drugs. . .mostly pot.

The narrator is bored, stressed, and uninspired. He's not sure if that is why he started getting stoned, but it's no longer relevant. Now that time has passed, and the machinery of life has gone on, it's just a fact.
