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.

If life were more alive, however, it wouldn't be dead. Being dead is perhaps the most important stage of life, for without death, we wouldnt know what the difference between life and death was. If we saw for ourselves the meaning of being dead, we, perhaps could explain it. Is it a long, meaningful slumber, or simply the end of the beginning? If we can't see the end, where's the beginning going to start. Only as soon as we determine the end.

its a transition from one beginning to another. a carryover of core data and a departure from data derived from the core data's calculatings.

I dont think thats what the song is about though. It seems to be more about being able to trust things and experience the world with wonder instead of just through your rational eyes
