Ravens Lyrics

All engines must fail sometimes
People must fail sometimes
Machines will break on some days
Everyone breaks on somedays We disappear like ravens

Wish that I could save us
The dark ones into the darkest night Ravens
The dark ones know how to love you right Ravens

Lions get scared sometimes
We all get scared sometimes
I don't understand you right now
I don't even know you right now
We disappear like ravens
Free of mind and dangerous

The dark ones into the darkest night Ravens
The dark ones know how to love you right Ravens
Kisses will end one day It's a sad day

When the kisses end We disappear like ravens
Wish that I could save us The dark ones into the darkest night Ravens
The dark ones know how to love you right Ravens

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.

I think this song's about how we all can get lost in this world, feel hopeless & how it can seem there's no light in the dark. We're not really free but we wish we could all be free as birds, free like Ravens but how that could cause its own chaos too (be careful what you wish for). Also how dangerous the world is now with all the terrorism and how each & every one of us has a breaking point when it comes to both life and love.
