Exile Lyrics

You know if you let me, I'll be back with a vengeance
I'm only too happy in our co-dependence, you know me
You know if you let me, I'll be back with a vengeance
Only too happy in our co-dependence

I feel like I'm removed
Exiled exiled from your love
I fear the sun is shining and water is clear
I'm staring out at a blank blue sky
The perfect canvas for a sullen light

In exile, banished from your love
I fear it's a beautiful place, bit cold at night
A shipwreck, abandoned
I'm lonely on the island
It was each man for himself in the end
The crashing waves you're under
You'll sink, you'll drown, you'll sink
You'll lose your fight against the sea
Bravely, good men, each, have come to meet their end
Oh can you see me sitting here all alone?
I'd face another hurricane to get back home

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.
