Stranded Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The cool guy laughs [?] cheap suit
I'm amused by [?]
The other one says "that's quite a look"
To the fat suit fronts and the conscript
It's a neat idea, it's like, cool off
If you [?]
Looked into himself; she tried to find me
We all love the artifice

[Chorus]
I wear exquisite [?]
I am divine, deluxe beyond reach
In a holding pattern, soon to be coming down
No remarks, no second thoughts, I'm stranded
Coming down, out to land, I'm stranded
(Out to land)

[Verse 2]
The therapist says "live in the moment"
I must despite his eyes reappear
You're ingested in just the two things
I'm into fucking and money
You're not fit to match, you should be better
I like the way you're never negative
You got a sharp-edged [?], you got the put-downs
I'm an arbiter of taste

[Chorus]
I wear exquisite [?]
I am divine beyond reach
In a holding pattern, soon to be coming down
I hope to land
No remarks, no second thoughts, I'm stranded
Coming down, out to land, I'm stranded
(Out to land)
(Out to land)

I Found That Essence Rare

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.
