Foreign Lands Lyrics

if there's such a thing as deliverance from the silent hums you knew, then you can count on this: I share your hometown stress. I've been to foreign lands with you. peed in front of each other, as good as blood brothers, you talk in gazing melodies. you'll let me take the blame, I'll drag your bony shame out from the closet to the street. if you can find the place beneath bower of quiet passion you're into, you'll find me facing you. when this world decays the dimension of our soul comes the waking truth, you've only got to find one. articles of this selfish age will letter the pages of books we're going to write. trespasses all forgiven for the skin you live in is cracking, dormant overnight.

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.
