We're Still Pioneers Lyrics

I don't want to let go
If I ever told you I hope life treats you fair
I take it back
Life just doesn't care
Life just doesn't care
But I still hate the way you just expect things to change
And when they don't you say it
In that overly optimistic way
In that overly optimistic

I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know

I shut things down like science
I'll be the Challenger of my generation's space explorations
I am the Challenger
I am the Challenger

I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know

I can't keep blaming the lighthouse for sinking my ship
When I walk with my head down
I can't keep blaming the lighthouse for sinking my ship
When I walk with my head down
I still manage to trip

I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know
I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know

I don't want to let go
If I ever told you I hope life treats you fair
I take it back
Life just doesn't care
Life just doesn't care
But I still hate the way you just expect things to change
And when they don't you say it
In that overly optimistic way
In that overly optimistic

I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know

I shut things down like science
I'll be the Challenger of my generation's space explorations
I am the Challenger
I am the Challenger

I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know

I can't keep blaming the lighthouse for sinking my ship
When I walk with my head down
I can't keep blaming the lighthouse for sinking my ship
When I walk with my head down
I still manage to trip

I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know
I don't want to let go of this minor key
Makes sense to me
I don't want to let go of knowing what I know

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.

It's about being pessimistic. Word to your mother.
