Vanguard Lyrics

Wave goodbye, as we turn our backs on our past
Wave goodbye, cut our future short to pave a new path
Wave goodbye, we dropped it all on a dime to be on our own,
Wave goodbye, as we make the escape into the unknown

We pushed through shattering expectations
Filled with dreams, filled with heartache (x2)

We're still standing strong, standing strong
As we keep living on, living on

Free fall
Close your eyes and take the dive
Free fall
Close your eyes and take the dive
Free fall
Close your eyes, and take the dive
This is your new purpose in life,
This is your new purpose in life
Free fall
Close your eyes, and take the dive
This is your new purpose in life,
This is your new purpose in life
Free fall
Close your eyes, and take the dive
This is your new purpose in life,
This is your new purpose in life
Free fall
This is your new purpose in life,
This is your new purpose in life

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.

Sadly, this sounds like a farewell song. This whole album gives me the feeling that it could be their last.
