American Clouds Lyrics

Flying like an aeroplane
Faster than falling the rain
My brain is in the cities crowds
Scattered in American clouds

Running like a diesel train
Racing from my heart to the flame
Pushing me to move on a cloud
I know I have to make it somehow

Welcome to your blackest day
Everything is faded away
Rising from a burial shroud
Scattered in American clouds

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.

Correct lyrics:

Flying like an aeroplane Faster than the falling rain My brain is in the cirrus clouds Scattered in American crowds

Running like a diesel train Racing from my heart through the vein Pushing the unmovable plow I know I have to make it somehow

Welcome to your brightest day Everything is fading away Rising from the burial shroud Scattered in American clouds
