Ludlow Lyrics

First the whisper, then the shout
First the temple, then the doubt
First the angel spreads her wings
And shadow covers everything

I wanna tell you, but I don't know how
I mouth the words, but they won't come out
I've been a liar, I've been alone
I've been a stranger in my own damn home

First the captive, then the God
First the artist, then the art
First the fruit fell from the tree
Then the pain, the ecstasy

I wanna tell you but I don't know how
I mouth the words, but they won't come out
I've been a liar, I've been alone
I've been a stranger in my own damn home

First the ark, and then the flood
First the brother, then the blood
First the last, and last the first
Then the ratchets know their worth

I wanna tell you but I don't know how
I mouth the words, but they won't come out
I've been a liar, I've been alone
I've been a stranger in my own damn 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.
