The Age Of Aquarius Lyrics

I'm trapped inside the shelter
Hiding from the freeze
My cabin fever shuts me down
And pushes me to extremes
But we're building a glass ceiling
And melting all the ice
And when it floods and everyone drowns
I'll just think it's nice...

It'll be like Waterworld
And the survivors will be sexy girls
I'll ride a shark like Aquaman
And scuba dive into a mermaid's land
And maybe that's just dangerous
But apathy is not a stage for us
I write a verse every time I can
About seceding from my fellow man
And I believe in destiny
And this whole life is but a test to me
I'm waiting on those Saturn rings
Until the water covers everything
Cause it's the Age of Aquarius
And that's an age that seems fair to us
I'm not real into the zodiac
But this whole planet is just smokin' crack

So I'll grow gills and evolve
And all my problems wil be solved
And maybe, if I'm lucky, I can forget you all
You all
You all
You all

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.

Inspired by the zodiac, 2012, Waterworld, Aquaman, and the "I Believe I Can Fly" cover that Me First and the Gimmee Gimmees do.
