Copper Down Lyrics

This ships gone and run its course
Through a tired lack of force
And all that matters
Branded on your arm
So you don’t forget
How we first met

Suddenly I have this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look towards the clouds for my last breath

When you go into your skin
I’ll be the hope joining the walls
And all the scraps of world joined at the hip
Are there to hold you in
A secret place

Suddenly I have this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look towards the clouds for comfort
Filling the blacks

Suddenly I hate this feeling
Tasting copper in my mouth
I look towards the clouds for comfort
I hope I don’t let anyone down
Filling the blacks

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.

Cover art for Copper Down lyrics by Boy Who Trapped The Sun, The

To let you down or myself, why can't it be neither. The impossibility between us is cast in my shadow, inescapable, prisoner to my body. Why can't we be? Not friend, not lover, what shall we label our relationship to make it work. Shall I send myself in a box until you know me? When will you say that you love me? When will you stop changing your mind about me? I'm human not tool. But why when I finally get misplaced away from your tool box, do I lie there waiting to be returned. I want to get lost, lose me, please lose me Hope.
