Rules for Living Lyrics

I'm another life
When the gods were crazy
And the measurement of time
Were the ending seasons
And maybe we believed
There was anger in the storm

Sometimes the Sky reminds me

And if you think that's wild
There's my dream of Egypt
And the color of the Nile
You're a Roman Soldier
It's small world after all
Buts older than you think

Sometimes your eyes remind me
Don't know why
I'll wait a life time till you find me
There are times

I've been this way before
I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside

Sometimes your eyes remind me
Don't know why
I'll wait a life time till you find me
There are times

I've been this way before
I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside

In another life
When the gods were crazy
And complaining all the time
And the people look at me
The volocano wants a bribe
And I'm still afraid of fire

I've been this way before
I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside

I'm another life
When the gods were crazy
And the measurement of time
Were the ending seasons
And maybe we believed
There was anger in the storm

Sometimes the Sky reminds me

And if you think that's wild
There's my dream of Egypt
And the color of the Nile
You're a Roman Soldier
It's small world after all
Buts older than you think

Sometimes your eyes remind me
Don't know why
I'll wait a life time till you find me
There are times

I've been this way before
I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside

Sometimes your eyes remind me
Don't know why
I'll wait a life time till you find me
There are times

I've been this way before
I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside

In another life
When the gods were crazy
And complaining all the time
And the people look at me
The volocano wants a bribe
And I'm still afraid of fire

I've been this way before
I'll come this way again
So many things remind me
So many things inside

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.

This is about a woman who is willing to wait for a right man to notice her and approach her. Later, while they are together, sometimes when she looks into his eyes, she reflects she would wait for him her whole life, if necessary. Although, she cannot tell exactly what is it that attracts her to him. Apart from love, of course. It may be also about a woman who is in vulnerable position because ancient "gods" demand sacrifices, and she is perfect target because she is young and beautiful. Maybe she gets protected by her man, who is a Roman soldier. The author questions our comprehension of history, because we cannot tell exactly how old is our world, how time was measured, or if people ever seriously believed there was anger in the storm. But they probably loved each other the same way they do nowadays.
