By the Daylight Lyrics

When you see an insect
Don't try to squash it
Things more powerful than you
Control the actions in your life
I have a problem
With no easy answer
But you see I'm trying
Very, very hard to just let it slide

So I dream
Dream, dream, dream

Wasted by the daylight
Floating in the twilight

Ask me a question
I'll give you the answer
You want to know I'm saying
Every little thing that's on my mind
I am a body
Stuck in a story
Things more powerful than me
Control the actions in my life

So I dream
Dream, dream, dream
And I dream
Dream, dream, dream

Wasted by the daylight
Floating in the twilight
Wasted by the daylight
Floating in the twilight

Dream
Dream

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.
