Sandcastles Lyrics

Castle by the ocean
Water slow to break you down
I'm here skipping stones
I should have known this love would drown
'Cause they'll destroy you before too long
The tides conspire a million strong
But you're holding on
You keep holding on
Castle by the ocean
You were sold out
I never learn
Fireworks bleed in slow bloom
Above the tidepools
The colours blur
And they'll destroy you before too long
The tides conspire a million strong
But you're holding on
You keep holding on
It's the same old ending
It's still a lie
I saw the jetstreams
Bruise the sky

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.
