Squares Lyrics

I seen the demons
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I lay upon the ground

I seen the people
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I gave the run-around

I reached for feelings
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I lay upon the ground

So
Miles and miles of squares
Where's the feeling there?
Still nobody cares
For miles and miles of squares

(Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers)

I seen the demons
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I lay upon the ground

I seen the people
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I gave the run-around

(Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers)

So
Miles and miles of squares
Where's the feeling there?
Still nobody cares
For miles and miles of squares

(Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers)

I seen the demons
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I lay upon the ground

I seen the people
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me 
But I gave the run-around

I reached for feelings
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I lay upon the ground

So
Miles and miles of squares
Where's the feeling there?
Still nobody cares
For miles and miles of squares

(Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers)

I seen the demons
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me
But I lay upon the ground

I seen the people
But they didn't make a sound
They tried to reach me 
But I gave the run-around

(Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers)

So
Miles and miles of squares
Where's the feeling there?
Still nobody cares
For miles and miles of squares

(Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers
Daydream... I found 'em sleeping with the flowers)

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.
