Atom & Evil Lyrics

Blue skies - Once upon a dream
All highs - never in-between
Then Into the Garden came the spider

I'm here for you
Said the spider to the fly
And when I'm through
You can open up your eyes to see
Your world's on fire
And the liar won't let go
Atom and evil

One more promise
We can tame the sun
And then we'll shine forever

Someday you can cry for everyone
who burned when you were clever

Expand your mind
We've got a place for you
Just make believe
That one and one are always two
When into the parlour
Comes the slider
Say no
Atom and evil

Falling's easy
Rising will never be
So we must rise together

Here are the changes
Power for harmony
But then there's no forever
Atom and evil

Maybe if we cry together
Maybe if we cry as one
The tears that fall can kill the fire
And keep everyone from

Atom and evil
Atom and evil
Atom and evil
Atom and evil

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.

It may be, "Atom" in the title is definitively a giveaway about nuclear power, for the rest I can't really decipher the lyrics so your explanation may be most likely right...

It also sounds like "atom and evil" are "Adam and Eve", the spider enters the garden (of Eden, maybe relating it to the world)
