The Sea Looked Like Lead Lyrics

Bisect the polar opposites and tilt the world on its axis. Kill us to suit your selfishness. Then dim the stars to hide the evidence. Cover yourself to conceal the obvious and give my regards to anyone who ever mattered more than this did. You must have done something right. How the sea looked like lead. Flat as the sky and just as dead- when everything we loved came to an end. But there's no consolation anyone can possibly give. You must have done something right. You must have done something right? You must have...but I'll be damned if I know what it is. But that's how you win. That's how you win.

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.
