Cooling the Medium Lyrics

When the sun begins to fill her
When the foreground disappears
She's waving to the river
She's walking on the water

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium
Rest my head inside your hands
Cooling the medium
Walk me back to life again
Cooling the medium (Coolin', Coolin')

In her eyes the line is shifting
In her hands, she feels the tension
All resistance paralyze
She looks the spirits in the eyes (In the eyes)

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium
Rest my head inside your hands
Cooling the medium
Walk me back to life again
Cooling the medium (Coolin', Coolin')

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium
Rest my head inside your hands
Cooling the medium
Walk me back to life again
Cooling the medium
Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium (Coolin', Coolin')
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium

When the sun begins to fill her
When the foreground disappears
She's waving to the river
She's walking on the water

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium
Rest my head inside your hands
Cooling the medium
Walk me back to life again
Cooling the medium (Coolin', Coolin')

In her eyes the line is shifting
In her hands, she feels the tension
All resistance paralyze
She looks the spirits in the eyes (In the eyes)

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium
Rest my head inside your hands
Cooling the medium
Walk me back to life again
Cooling the medium (Coolin', Coolin')

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river
Carry me down, Carry me down,
Carry me down into the river

Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium
Rest my head inside your hands
Cooling the medium
Walk me back to life again
Cooling the medium
Hold me close so I don't fall
Cooling the medium (Coolin', Coolin')
Wash the water from my eyes
Cooling the medium

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.
