El Dorado Lyrics

all right i have to come clean
i was forced to turn the screw
all right i have to come clean
i'm so sorry i had to cannibalize you
raging rivers of gold
that's what the brochure advertised
and now we're lost and i got to break
you down
let you down slow if i'm to survive
ok if you got to know the truth
i didn't mean to turn you off
i only meant to mute
ok if you got to know the truth
i didn't mean to shut ya down
i only meant to reboot
if i ever get back
tell ya what i'll do
if i ever get back
i promise to re-fabricate you
el dorado

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.
