Primitive Painters Lyrics

I just wish my life could be as strange as a conspiracy a whole lot up
But there’s no way of being what I wanna be
Dragons blow fire angels fly; spirits wither in the air
I’m just me I can’t deny, I need the cure anywhere
Oh you should see my trail of disgrace; it’s enough to scare a whole human race
I don’t care about this life they say there’ll be another one
To feed this aptitude I know, you’ll be sorry when I go
Primitive painters are ships floating on an empty sea gathering in galleries with stories of imageries
Oh you should see my trail of disgrace; it’s enough to scare a whole human race

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.
