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.
The book 'Papillon' is about a guy who escaped from prison many times, based on various stories from prison by a guy who actually escaped from a prison (where he was sitting for murder). I don't think it's about escaping from prison.
However, I don't know what is this song about, the only thing that I noticed is that the verse 'One day to play' might refer to the fact that butterflies (=Papillons) usually live only for one day. Maybe the rest is just describing is that one beautiful day where the butterfly can fly freely.

Papillon translates as butterfly in french.
Theres' also a book called "Papillon" by Henri Charrière I believe it was turned into a movie as well
Havne't read the book or see the movie so not sure if the song is to do with the book or if it's just about un Papillon
P.s. French Version is better :}
