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.

'Likewise I said it first/Credit where it is due' I'm going to state the obvious and assume he was the first to say "I love you."

'The true love in your eyes/Is stronger when they are closed'-- I remember reading an interview with Gary Lightbody about SP's Eyes Open, and he talked about the album's running theme of "eyes open" having to do with honesty b/c he feels truthfulness is found in another's eyes. Maybe his love for the subject is unrequited. She pretends to love him and says she does just to appease him. When her eyes are open and looking at him, he can tell that she doesn't return his love for her, but when her eyes are closed he can imagine her loving him as much.
