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 makes me chuckle so much. I don't think it's about not wanting to help someone commit suicide, per se. It seems very sardonic to me, maybe even daring this person to do it, or not caring one way or the other if they do it or not. It sounds to me like the person being addressed (the would-be suicider) is maybe an attention whore who frequently threatens suicide, or maybe just goes around feeling sorry for themselves and takes their misery out on others, or acts like some martyr. The speaker has had enough of this, so offers them instructions on how to hang themselves effectively ("you're gonna need more...rope"). The last part, about not kicking out any chairs, I think is saying that if you want to wallow in your misery, fine, but I won't be attending your self-pity party.

It's about not wanting to help somebody to commit suicide...
