Facedown Lyrics

I sleep though my arm's broken
You know it's not a crime to leave you now
I hope that I will always be a man
Who's strong and knows enough to change his mind

You speak though your heart's broken
You know that you don't mean much to me now
You're selfish and you're stubborn
I hope I never find you

I'm facedown, facedown

Facedown, facedown
I'm facedown, I'm facedown
Hah, hah, hah, hah

Facedown, facedown, facedown, facedown

Facedown, facedown, facedown

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.

This song is about the time Ollie(singer) got electrocuted after fiddlin' bout with his amp. zzzzz zzzzzz sizzle, the poor fella got fried, but I think I remember him saying that it has inspired him to write some songs, but for certain this one. However, I find that with alot of Turn songs, there appears to be a certain uneasy element of a relationship that soured, they are pure genius. Oh and they "rock like dirty bastards!". Best band in the world
