Victory Lyrics

Here and later
a little while
this faded ruin
this lie
in a game of give and take
You always take to much
most of it is meaningless
and long since spent
victory is closer now
hanging on to you somehow
wide awake and moving on
but you're going nowhere
sooner or later you'll catch on
this river is running dry
in a game of given and take
You always take to much
most of it is meaningless
and long since spent
victory is closer now
letting go of you somehow
wide awake and moving on
but you're going nowhere
victory is closer now
I'm letting go of you somehow
wide awake and moving on
but you're going nowhere

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.
