Soldier's Song Lyrics

You like the desert sun
shinin' over everyone
you like a fighter plane
blowin' us all away
there in your low lit room
your singin prayer to your open wounds
the fire thats your pale blue jeans
is bandages no one sees
here in my suit of tin
i sing in tune for the fool i've been
fire down my tinfoil throat
there's a fist where my heart should go
but you like the desert sun
shinin' over everyone
you like a fighter plane
blowin' us all away
nail in your famous spike
your singin' prayer cause your pain has died
all down that thorough fair
you throw your bandages in the air
you throw your bandages in the air

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.
