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.
Gone, Still is an amazing piece of work. Great addition to the "Still" album. I believe the song poignantly expresses, through music alone, the prolonged feeling of losing hope (continued on by the last song on the album, "Leaving Hope")
I have to agree with 'the prolonged feeling of losing hope', it definitely has that feeling to me with only the usage of music and obviously no lyrics.
You can get so easily captured into Nine Inch Nails' instrumental works, especially the piano based ones.
I love Still. It's really moving, especially the instrumental songs. Something I Can Never Have brings me to tears..
He has so much emotion and feeling behind his voice it leaves me speechless.
