Feet Touch The Ground Lyrics

So I thought the worst was over
When my heart stopped beating again
And the weak side of my body has come undone
Through trusting them
So we walked into the building
Took the lift to the third floor
Pain lies behind that door what am I to do now?
When what they tell me is just what they sell me
And I know to be realistic
Will save me from the shock to come
Any fool believes what you tell them
Happiness is being dumb
So we listened to the experts
Everyone needs some kind of guide to help them
See deep inside what am I to do now?
When what they tell me is just what they sell me
And it's not the truth but I'm not calming down
Till my feet touch the ground
So I thought the worst was over
When my heart stopped beating again
And the weak side of my body doubled up
I'm never trusting them
So don't listen to the experts
Cos I've seen they don't know anything
Can you hear the truth ring what am I to do now?

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.

My own interpretation was of the media. That may sound silly but things like "everyone needs some kind of guide" and "any fool believes what you tell them" how we are exposed to so much bullshit and brainwashed with even realising it. Fantastical song.

This song is actually about Kevin and Brett's father, who died during the recording of 'Of Someday Shambles'
