Sunken Pleasure/Rising Pleasure/No Walls, No Strings Lyrics

Time's nigh. Eyes dried. Let's dive for sunken pleasure. They're wailing at the wall. They are shrinking in its shadow. Seemed like nothing else existed on this cold extended ever-darkening night. Silence from beyond. I know I may be twisted. But will you pause before you shoot? Let me dive. Time's nigh. Eyes dried. Let's dive for sunken pleasure. It keeps on growing taller and it keeps on closing in. I admit I live in squalour. But I'll swallow. I shall take it on the chin. All I ask of you is let me climb the ladder. Let me play before you shoot. Time to dive. Throw the covers back and gaze into the mirror. Cover up the cracks 'cause all has been forgiven. Sure you're feeling sad. There's so much left to live for. Even on a stormy day

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.
