Alternate World Lyrics

alternate world
alternate age
alternate life

oh-oh we'll shed our skin
we'll walk the other side
oh-oh we'll brace for it
and conquer everything
oh-oh-oh
and conquer everything
oh-oh-oh

oh-oh we're magical
we'll wake the dead from sleep
oh-oh we'll shed our skin
we'll walk the other side
oh-oh we'll brace for it
and conquer everything
oh-oh-oh
and conquer everything
oh-oh-oh

tear me away from this fight
tear me away
take me to an
alternate world
alternate age
alternate life

alternate world
alternate age
alternate life

make what we believe
don't we make what we can

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.

Ryan Lott delivers again on his promise to make us think about the nature of reality by laying down simple lyrics with an amazing tune.

Judeo-Christain scripture is a narrative of an alternate world; one from which humans were bannished at the begining of history. Our theology and doctrine as human beings determine how we think of and relate to this alternate world, weather we admit to giving it thought or not. There are strong hints in Lott's lyrics as to what orthodox Christian theology teaches, and it has the power to change the life of one willing to listen.

Let Son Lux's music take you to a place where serious reflection and thought happen.

Wow... solid analysis. Thanks for sharing. I can't imagine why this album didn't get 10/10 reviews across the board. It's structurally and lyrically one of the best I've ever heard.
