Don't Let It Bring You Down Lyrics

Don't Let It Bring You Down Though Some Things In Life Are Hard To Bear
Don't Let It Bring You Down

Should The Sand Of Time Run Out On You
Don't Let It Bring You Down

Don't Go Down - Don't Go Underground
Things Seem Strange, But They Change
How They Change

Up And Down Your Carousel Will Go
Don't Let It Bring You Down

Don't Go Down - Don't Get Out Of Town
Get To Know How It Goes, How It Goes

When The Price You Have To Pay Is High
Don't Let It Bring You Down

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.

When first listening to this, I thought it was a reference to J.D Salinger's book, The Catcher in the Rye because of its references to a carousel, as well as the central message of the song to "not bring you down" as the main character is very depressed.
