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.
Maybe whe woke up after a crazy night with someone and doesn't know where she is...it's night, she looks outside the window, its raining...she can't see the space she's in but feels safe, so oh well, she just goes to back to sleep....
The most beautiful song ever.
I think it's just all about feeling lost.. and depressed and confused, which is why she keeps saying 'oh well', like she's too weak to find out, and can't be bothered to do anything.
The song portrays a sense of insecurity.
It mightn't even mean anything, but the music is amazingly beautiful.
When I listen to it, I just feel like staying at home, looking out a window on a rainy day and playing the piano. =]
Beautiful song, one of my favorites from her =]...
It does sound like she may be depressed, but it also sounds like it's not bothering her too much. I mean to me it sounds like she's just woken up kind of hazy and not sure how she got to this place, but it's not bothering her because its a safe enough place for her to lose herself and not think of her current situation (hence the "oh well" part). Kind of like billy collins poem "saturday morning"
I'm going to come at this song from a purely personal point of view. I first fell in love with this song because I love simple vocals over piano and a friend told me I say "oh well' a lot. I never really thought of it much but saying oh well is my way of coping with the world. Like this song it creates a safe place for me but numbs me to the world. A lot of times I let things go that I really shouldn't. But I'm safe inside me here.

Beautiful song. I agree with lg135 and Themeaning with this. She's woken up, and doesn't know where she's at, but she feels safe and is away from her problems so it's all right.
i feel like it's not about waking up, but about hiding in yourself
maybe it's because that's how i relate to it
"what's that you're saying there? oh well"
she casts off the words of others, the whispers of others (if it was clearly and audibly spoken she wouldn't have to ask what was said) to keep herself from harm
it's like she's living in an eggshell
the rain blocks her view from the outside world
she can't see where she is and she doesn't care
she's safe within herself because no judgment lies there
she doesn't care anymore
that is her safety net, and it is a good one, except it keeps her from truly enjoying anything
so she will always be stuck in the rain
