Passionflower Lyrics

Born in your tiny prison cell
A million times smaller than anyone
One single drop and you've risen up
Unafraid of the dark

Ooooh (x7)
Ooooh (x7)
Whoa

You crack up through the pavement
In super, super slow motion
Though your back is gently breaking,
You reach for the light

Oooh(x7)
Oooh (x7)
Oooh-ooh-oh!

We can't see everything
And we can't hear everything
WE can't see everything
We can't hea-ear! everything!

Weakness is not your weakness
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

You are what you grow into
You're not what you were

Oooh (x7)
Oooh (x5)
Oooh-oh!

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.

"we can't see everything.. we can't hear everything"

When I first heard this song I heard "can" and not "can't"

Otherwise, blown away by the instrumental ability of the artist.
