Sound & Color Lyrics

A new world hangs
Outside the window
Beautiful and strange
It must be I've fallen awake
I must be

Sound and color
With me for my mind
And the ship shows me where to go
When I needn't speak

Not far now...
Not far now...
Not far now...
Far, far now...
Far, far...
Far, far, far...
Far, far, far...
Far out

Sound and color
With me in my mind
Sound and color
Try to keep yourself awake
Sound and color
This life ain't like it was
Sound and color
I wanna touch a human being
Sound and color
I want to go back to sleep
Sound and color
Ain't life just awful strange?
Sound and color
I wish I never gave it all away
Sound and color
No more to see the setting of the sun
Sound and color
Life in...
Sound and color
Life in...
Sound and color
Life in...
Sound and color
Sound and color
Sound and color

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.
