1% (The Long Way Down) Lyrics

For once I wasn't hanging over
The cliffs on which I normally awoke
And then you thought
You'd make me stronger
By pointing out
The long way down
The long way down
I've been thrown
I'm looking up
But all I can head is down
All I can head is down
I've been thrown
I'm reaching out
All I can head is down
All I can head is down to 1%
It tried so hard
To flip me back over
Stranded once again
On my shell
Left me to my weak defenses
And then told me of
The long way down
The long way down
I've been thrown
I'm looking up
But all I can head is down
All I can head is down
I've been thrown
I'm reaching out
But all i can head is down
All I can head is down to 1%

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.
