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.
I think that's what starlightfading is saying.. that they can "rock" instrumentally as well, not simply lyrically, an area in which they apparently also rock. Because this has no words, it's not riding on lyrics, just the music.

The instrumental intro with the same name as its album is just simply great. First time I heard it I almost came to tears. It's beautiful...it's perfect...it's a great foreword to one of the best albums ever.
okay, so i know that this is pathetic, but i actually wrote lyrics to this song...let me know what you think!
melancholy and the infinite sadness
oh
melancholy and the infinite sadness
infinite sadness
now
the night has come to take me
now
your tears are the stars
from heaven above
your words are the rain
to carry me on
your love is so true
yet i must say
i cannot stay
it's my time to go
it's my time to g(oh)
melancholy and the infinite sadness
oh
melancholy and the infinite sadness
infinite sadness
now
the sapphires sparkle in your eyes
i swear i'll never forget
that night
the impossible became
what's right
so indescribable
are the
moments of our lives
you've saved me
from all i believed
but i must leave
but you must believe
you must recieve
the light within me
the love within me
the night sets you free
melancholy and the infinite sadness
oh
melancoly and the infinite sadness
infinite sadness
and now it's time to sa goodbye
i love you
please don't
forget those nights
my...
my love i can't...
i can't go on
(remember you're the one i miss) - spoken @ the very end
Amazing instrumental, but Infinite Sadness is even better. It was the closing track on the vinyl version of Mellon Collie (there are two extra tracks on the 3 LP vinyl album, the other one is Tonite Reprise). It's amazing and should never have been left off the cd. I love this one too, though.
If you love this song, you should really try listening to some Sigur Ros some time. Try Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun to get you started. They've been compared to Smashing Pumpkins, and they create the most beautiful music I've ever heard =)

proof that the pumpkins rock lyrically and instrumentally.
Only this song doesn't have lyrics...

Or whatever, you know.

Trivia, this song is played on guitar at the end of "Thru The Eyes of Ruby"

This song is so beautiful. Too bad it's so short, I could listen to it for hours.
One of the most touching instrumentals I've ever heard. It's so short... and doesn't drag on, which makes it perfect.
Sigur Ros has been compared to The Smashing Pumpkins? WTF I like Sigur Ros but they are hardly similar at all.

Definitely better than the crap that mainstream music calls "lyrics", that's for sure.

I don't see the comparison either, lol.
