Springing the Atom Lyrics

Imagine what it’s like
To fall out of the sky
Live to tell the tale
And never wonder why
I have seen the colour
Of the rebirth of the world
The passing of a man
Resurrected as a girl

Springing the atom from its bounds
Springing the atom from its chains
When I release what’s in my mind
I don’t know
What I will find
What I will find
What I will find

That science-fiction science
Isn’t hard to understand
Some lightning, some electrodes
And the body of a man
I have heard the sound of summer
Dying on the vine
I have heard the sound of someone
Dying on the vine

Springing the atom from its bounds
Springing the atom from its chains
When I release what’s in my mind
I don’t know
What I will find
What I will find
What I will find

Springing the atom from its bounds
Springing the atom from its chains
When I release what’s in my mind
I don’t know
What I will find
What I will find
What I will find

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.
