Shifting Lyrics

Woke up this morning, gray clouds in my mind.
Walking around thinking everything's fine
Broken glass covers all these streets
Gotta watch what ya say
Gotta watch what ya mean
Big bad self ain't so big anymore
As the giants roll through the revoving door
I don't know how and I don't know why
Ths battle has brewed up inside
My hands in fist, a shove means war
I'm starting fights with those I adore
Soon enough we both shall see
What this world has done with me
I don't think you quite understand
I'm shifting, I'm changing, exactly who I am.

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.
