Slow Drip Lyrics

cut my feet on the rope course
dragged though the woods by a frightened horse
lost all my feeling when I fell through the ice
regained it in time to be attacked by mice

and every time I thought it couldn't get worse
I'd start to wake up and I
I'd see the nurse
she said, "you checked in with a broken heart
we don't even know where to start...
I just put something in your line
I think you need to wake up
I think you'd better wake up one more time"
one more time

broke my back in a trust fall
thrown from the boat in a sudden squall
I lost a gallon of blood to a vampire bat
then I lost your number to the laundromat

and every time I thought it couldn't get worse
I'd start to wake up and I
I'd hear the nurse
she said, "you checked in with a broken heart
we don't even know where to start...
I just put something in your line
it's starting to drip, it's gonna take its time
the next voice you hear, well it won't be mine
I think you need to wake up
I think you'd better wake up one more time"
one more time
one more time
one more time

Hyper Enough

Detroit Has a Skyline

The First Part

100,000 Fireflies

1,000 Pounds

cut my feet on the rope course
dragged though the woods by a frightened horse
lost all my feeling when I fell through the ice
regained it in time to be attacked by mice

broke my back in a trust fall
thrown from the boat in a sudden squall
I lost a gallon of blood to a vampire bat
then I lost your number to the laundromat

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.
