Semper Fi Lyrics

Accelerate, the faster I race
The less I intake
I suffocate, the faster I race
Might keep me awake
Arrive the wrong way
I'll drive my own way

Don't make that sound that's in my head
The sound surrounds me in my bed
I'll take it with me to my grave
Can't get that sound to leave my head

To suffocate this whole human race
Just might keep me awake
I'll drive the wrong way
I'll drive my own way

I'm wide awake

Even if it's all you'll ever know
Will I ever get to leave the ground?
Even if it's all I ever know
Will I always have to hear this sound?

To devastate this whole human race
Just might keep me awake

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.

This song is definitely about PTSD in military veterans.
