Fountain Lyrics

It’s just not the same when you wake up in the morning with a smile on your face and you know you lied yourself to sleep. He said it takes more then sharp eyes, it takes more than steady hands and it take more than cool nerves; it takes luck, pure dumb luck. The kind of luck that wins lotteries and the kind of luck that walks away from plane crashes. Don’t read into the subtext if I wanted you to know I just would have told you or maybe I wouldn’t. Sometimes what is thought of as exasperation means absolutely nothing. Sometimes words themselves amount to nothing but the ink that types them on off white paper.

Keep it true to the song

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.
