Alligator Lyrics

Hey! Hey!

I see colour raining down
Feral feeling, swaying sound
But I don’t know what you want
I am open and I am restless
Let me feel it out, let it all come out

Wake me up
I’m fever dreaming
And now I lose control
I'm fever dreaming
Shake it out
It's just what I'm feeling
And now I take control
I'm fever dreaming (I'm fever dreaming)

Oh so quiet when they laid me in the stream
And the starlit sky grew before my eyes
Twenty-two women stood by the banks and cried
Oh, I

Wake me up
I’m fever dreaming
And now I lose control
I'm fever dreaming
Shake it out
It's just what I'm feeling
And now I take control
I'm fever dreaming (I'm fever dreaming)
I must be fever dreaming (I'm fever dreaming)

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 speaks of the strains of extremist nationalism cropping up throughout the Western Hemisphere have people feeling more divided than ever – whether they’re undergoing Brexit, Italy, Germany, or France’s political turbulence or just the state of the worlds politics in general the lyrics 'Rising up and out of the darkness' is about rejecting the disorienting tumult of modern life with its feverish 'WAKE ME UP!' declaration.
