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.

eh. i guess ill comment on this one rather then the other. i think this little intro song means he was obsessed with a girl and really wanted her and then he found out he couldnt have her. so he got depressed. then he starts to think that hes never gonna be loved and nothing turns out the way he wants it to.

obsession. desire. depression. all the feelings of not love, but more like infatuation. those 3 words in my mind show a decreasing slant.. obsession being at the top, desire in the middle, and depression at the bottom. It signifies the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. being broken by an infatuation may cloud your vision, making you believe that was love. it makes you believe that love never wanted you in the first place. I love this.
