Oh The Great Pine! Oh The Sad Truth... Lyrics

Broken traps and tree sap surrounding all we've ever known, it's all we know how to grow up from our roots.
I know exactly what you're thinking, good thing we're armed to the pulp...

Know that I've been nothing but sorry for...
Know that I've been nothing but sorry for you.

I still believe in ghosts and living after this, I know it's hard to believe me...
I'll collect the sun, weathered and unbranched.

We're feeling sick and helpless as we hear them from afar, we're not alone with these ghosts beneath our homes.

Is this what you really wanted?

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.
