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 is a very powerful song. what i love about it is that by not adding any lyrics, this song is not limited; it's unifying. even just in the sense that everyone can identify with the fact that they've experienced some things so bad that they are worth crying about.
It's weird to me how no one has commented on this song. It's one of Le Tigre's most emotional songs in my opinion. It's about taking a moment to think abotu all the bad things that have happened over the years, all the horrible things, and how no one does anything to help it. Later in the song it gets a little more eclectic, and I think it becomes about what we as a people have come forth to resolve, yet there is still an undertone that says "we need to keep on keeping on, because we still don't have what we need."
I love this. Like tiny spirits said, is is quite clearly a song for you to cry for everything bad that's happened. Whatever it might be. You don't need to wait for a song with lyrics that you can relate to, because this can reach out and touch everyone. It's like a friend who will hold you while you cry, but without you having to explain why you're crying, because sometimes it's just nice not to. But what's more, it's about keeping on living. We can have that song to listen to when we need to, sob our heartsout to it, and then at the end we pick up along with the music itself and it passes, and you can go back t normal. Genius.
I totally agree with the above comments.. The fact that it has no lyrics makes it so personal. Its like two and a half minutes of 'self-pity time' where you can just 'cry for everything bad that's ever happened'.. The way the music changes at the end is like it's telling you "c'mon pull yourself together now- we can get through this."
