Corridors Lyrics

Walk him up and down the corridors
till his arms are tired
till his lungs are tired

Starve him of the air the dimming light
till his eyes are wide
till his eyes are wild
till he sees the other side

Chain him to the burning carousel
till the horses tire
till the horses tire

Blast away the bearings of his life
till his eyes are wild
till his eyes are white
but stave off suicide
oh my my my my my my my my my my my

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 always thought this had to do with WWII prisoners of war, but I'm starting to think it's about seeing the formerly strong dying in hospital.
