The Universe In You Lyrics

It's just a thing with you
A spacious place
Infininte
Dangerous
Promising
Black with white
This night

Years of tears, emotion
Held like so... inside
Autumn
Dogs
Saturday
Nervousness
Blood
Drugs
Rage

And then it hit me
Though I saw it coming
Hard
Sheer intensity
The thinking in your thinking
The feeling in your feeling
Touched by a boy's
Restless young erection
You slam

Arms are open
Eyes are wide
What was out there
Is now in you
You drink it in
Scratched the skin
Bit the hand that hits
You had your way

Wanting some of everything
Living life
Thinking it would shine
Touched this stone
And what'd you find?
Humanity blind

A fiery red
And glowing world
Intoxicating... to a girl
Straddling life
In the atmosphere
But it's just changing times
And a few crazy people

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.

a nice trip out song. I'm not 100% on the lyrics. I guess they have never hit me in the face yet. But the great solo is such a great trip. A great outro to this amazing CD by a band that I saw playing with Our Lady Peace as the opener in Edmonton at the People's Pub. My first post tonight. Really enjoying this song. I think it really speaks about the general theme in this CD of uncertainty and dissatisfaction.

This is a great IME tune. Man, really Floyd-sounding too.

an amazing song from the best band of all time in my opinion. Such a great song, i think the lyrics have to do with sex as well as just those "things" in life that give yhou feelings, feelings that cant be explained in writing...
