Max Ernst's Dream Lyrics

Hands on the surface
That is (real ok?)
Sun locating black, silver, and grey
Bringing those things to light
Streetlamps to light

This collapse, this expansion
Falling, vertigo
Off the brink, things can thing can
Now they spin alive
Touching becomes a new seeing

(?) So sweet
Calls to me
And I obey
When (?)

Eyes undisguised
The tactile stimulae
Sun over the black waterfall
Silvery and salty
And battered rock

This collapse, this expansion
Falling, vertigo
Off the brink, things can thing can
Now they spin alive
Touching becomes a new seeing

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.
