Feral Roots Lyrics

On the mountain where I was born
There are trees that would call my name
On the wind they would bring a song
For every feral ear to claim
They'd say keep your eyes open
And we'll teach you to dream while you are awake
Well they haven't spoken
Since their branches were broken
For the fire that they told me to make

Feral roots
Calling me back home
Feral roots
Are calling me back home

On the book where my page was torn
There are words that I don't understand
All my elders, they tell me
Those ones were not writ by human hands
Well I just don't believe that's true
If the truth can be written
Then the truth can be hid
Those words are commanding you
Though your body may grow old
In your mind you must remain a kid

Feral roots
Are calling me back home
Feral roots
Calling me back home
Feral roots
Calling me back home
Feral roots
Calling me back home

Feral roots
Calling me back home
Feral roots
Calling me back home
Feral roots
Calling me back home
Feral roots
Calling me back home

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.
