Sixes And Sevens Lyrics

We've been run in circles
Like rats in a maze
Afraid of our own shadows
Much too blind to change

Every step we take goes backwards
Don't know what we're headed for
I've been hung out to dry
Strung out on denial

Everlasting wilderness
A night without ending
Buildings scrape the quiet sky
As I pretend to understand
The way you're all just staring
Hung up in heaven
Here on vacation
Trying to find some piece of mind, but...

I've been hung out to dry
Strung out on denial
And it's all just, it's all just a waste of time

Ooooh
Ooooh

Every step we take goes backwards
We don't know what we're heading towards
So wake me up when it's all over

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.

I have to say As Tall as Lions has matured nicely. I mean i like their self titled album (Laficado and Blood and Aphorisms not so much) but it seems this album was put together by an artist not some lovesick crybaby. Seriously have you noticed pretty much every song on their last album is about a girl? This song is a great example of their brilliance. Every step human kind takes sets us back. Examples. Smart phones. Mass production. Religion. we make ourselves dependent on these things. So we don't know how to function without them. Is this the right direction? Yay idiocy! here we come.
