October Man Lyrics

I am the October man
I dream of many things
This is my desire

This melancholia
This lure of golden wings
Isolation

I am the October man
I live for no-one
This is my damnation

I dream of many things
The rape of angels
Transformation

This odour of desire
These fumes of funeral fire
This is my celebration

I am the October man
I dream of many things
This is my desire

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.

I don't really know what this song is about, although I do remember reading a Bill Nelson interview where he mentioned that a lot of strange things happen to him in autumn. I guess this is related.

Anyway, this track is phenomenal and features the best e-bow guitar playing I've ever heard.
