Home & Minor Lyrics

Guns and spaceships
open fire try to bring them down
ran for miles now i'm stranded
the wrong side of this town

braved monsoons in
hot air balloons lived to spin the tale
life's magnetic pulls us onward
up towards the ground

if you think that you're alone
no-ones on your side
count from ten to one
and open up your eyes

a sky of faces
none familiar awoke in A&E
grainy footage from dusty cameras
show me where i've been
through the village
sleeping ghosts call from my sister's stone
without ever knowing love was showing
me the way back home
cutting through the clouds
a hundred miles an hour
so quickly we came down
and ran into the ground
fortune in disguise....

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.

Surprised no one commented on this amazing song. I always have pictures roaming through my head while this song is playing, things building up and disappearing with the passage of time.

I agree ... I love this song so much. Every little layer of the song adds a special touch to the sound, it would almost be a sin to only pay attention to one part of it. The drum pattern is chill but interesting, the guitar makes me curious (such as the swells), the vocals and everything else gives makes this song feel like a spacey story to me. I think Home & Minor is my favorite Oceansize album (I like them all).
