Sea Engines Lyrics

We calcimine feathers
Kitchen lights on
Sea Engines from Russia
Sea birding here below
When rocks out sea froth
I'll know Hawaii
My double legged cliff
To the stilt of a million years
Go on die salt light
You billion yearned rock knocker
Sad as wife and Hill
Loved as mother and fog
Wine is salt here this tidal wave kitchen
Engines of Russia in your soft talk
You ain't just whistling Dixie
You ain't just wasting time
Tumble seabird dig down
Footstep hollow weed
Accommodations of mind
Crashes in rhythm
The 5 billion years
Since earth we saw substantial
No human words bespeak
Sorrow older than this wave
Ah change the world
Ah set the fee
Are rope the angels
In all the sea
Wine is salt here this tidal wave kitchen
Engines of Russia in your soft talk
You ain't just whistling Dixie
You ain't just wasting time

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.
