Time Is The Diamond Lyrics

If I'm not a lion
and I'm not an island
if time is the diamond
well alright, well alright, well alright

Got a weak pair of lungs
from a childhood disease
will it ever come clean?
well alright, alright, alright

Tried to learn from the past
keep my fist in my mouth
but they just keep falling out
alright, well alright, alright

If I'm not a lion
and I'm not an island
if time is the diamond
well alright, well alright, well alright
alright

If I'm not a lion
and I'm not an island
if time is the diamond
well alright, alright, well alright
alright, alright, alright, alright

Well alright

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'm surprised there aren't any comments on this yet - I don't know what it's about, but this is such a great song. One of my favorites.
