How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

From the soundtrack for the 2013 film version of The Great Gatsby. The song title is a reference to the final sentence of the book:

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

A reworked version of the track features on Nero’s sophomore album, Between II Worlds.
