Five Ten Fiftyfold Lyrics

Wheezing and sneezing
Tenfold it blew apart
It halved it in half
And went gushing gust wind
Five ten fiftyfold
Five ten fiftyfold
Wheezing and sneezing
And in hand a little hand(It halved it in half)
By taking it forward
It went gushing gust wind
Five ten fiftyfold
Five ten fiftyfold
Wheezing and sneezing
Tenfold it blew apart
When gushing gust winds
Turned just up north
Wheezing and sneezing
In hand a little hand
By taking it forward
It went gushing gust wind
Five Ten Fiftyfold (5x)
Wheezing and sneezing and
Sneezing and wheezing and sneezing and
Sneezing and wheezing and sneezing and
Sneezing and wheezing and sneezing and
Five Ten Fiftyfold (3x)

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.

Loneliness and isolation. The neverending monotony of the days. I imagine a remote gothic manor with someone aged and possible on a death-bed accompanied by a child (in hand a little hand). It conveys a very dense gothic atmosphere through the seemingly superficial wording.
