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.

these lyrics so do NOT fit the music. . . . . .(I wonder if they were serious) the music itself is like.....the heaviest thing ever... it actually makes you want to break shit

kinda disappointing that the lyrics don't fit it. . . .

This is the most spirit filled song I have ever heard and I guess you have to christian to understand the feeling you get when you look at these lyrics

wow... to my understanding, kijima, you're implying that heavy music and Christian themes do not fit together? that would have to be the greatest load of total crap i have ever heard... these lyrics, simple and not necessarily poetic, are a sincere praise to Jesus, a sincere thanks to Him for being what he is... which is EVERYTHING... the style of music has nothing to do with it... metal is in no way inherently tied in with violence and death and destruction... i can write a classical music piece with a choral section and write Latin lyrics about disembowling people and raping people and setting peoples' corpses on fire if i want... the style of music and the lyrical content have no intrinsic connection... period.
