Pilgrim Lyrics

Hey there gypsy, walk without a sound
See those people try to put you down
She's got wisdom inside her hand
For no good reason, ever could be found
With all the people living in this town
Searching for wisdom inside the sand
She's got hands that go inside my mind
She's got hands that go inside my mind
This time I think I'm feeling fine
Somehow they seem, seem to get around
Giving the message from the underground
She's got that wisdom inside her hand
She's got hands that go inside my mind
She's got hands that go inside my mind
I think I'm feeling fine
With the thoughts that you have or that you find
It can confuse you some of the time
It's like you're chasing smoke into the night
Somebody's changing to the call of the wild
She's got hands that go inside my mind
I think I'm feeling fine

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.

the heavy riff that is around the 3 minute mark.... God does it sound fucking amazing.

The title pilgrim seems to be loosely based on the concept of a gypsy who is getting in his mind (or a witch as I interpret it). The writer may be the Pilgrim and the Witch is a woman in his life, making a reference to the mysterious concept of witches in colonial days having some sort of evil powers to control people. Could just be an allegory for how a woman can directly influence a man's thoughts.
