Dreaming in Columbian Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Worlds apart
Separation from my mind
Just close my eyes
To bring me there
I fall apart, the pieces
Are so hard to find
A puzzle piece is torn in half

[Verse 2]
The absence of color
Surrounds a broken dream
Call my eyes to take me there
One by one, I watch
As the pieces disappear
My friends become the ones I hate
This house of cards
It won't withstand the wind
I shut my eyes to escape

[Chorus]
All my whites have turned to black
Every time I close my eyes
Dream in Columbian
All my bugs are comin' back
Crawlin' on my face
They speak in... Columbian

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Worlds apart
A separation from my soul
Worlds apart
The separation is now whole
I watch the pieces fall apart
I try to make a brand-new start
I'm fallin' in, I'm fallin' out
I'm fallin' up, I'm fallin' back
I'm fallin' down and fallin' round
And askin' why

[Chorus]
All my whites have turned to black
Every time I close my eyes
Dream in Columbian
All my bugs are comin' back
Crawlin' on my face
They speak in... Columbian

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.
