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.
Sometimes I think, since there's an underlying theme of leaving throughout Sung Tongs, "you don't have to go to college" means, "you don't have to leave me."
society now treats education as the only way to succeed-going to college...after that the pressure is on for you job to profit you and make a living.YOU CAN STILL LIVE HAPPY/WELL WITHOUT BANKRUPTING YOURSELF FOR MORE SCHOOLING.
they have great harmony on this song.
panda is a great vocalist already but when you get deakin, avey, and geoligist in on it...wow
theres an atmosphere to it
'you dont have to leave me is this best explaination ive ever heard
Some of the band members have stated that this song is a response to the whole "love your school" vibe of some sixties artists like the Beach Boys and that this is the opposite of those feelings.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I'd be saying this too if I made a critically acclaimed experimental music album.

Except Deakin & Geologist didn't work on this album; it's just Panda Bear & Avey Tare.
