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.

I think it's about how he loves someone who's going away for some reason or another. Whoever he loves is leaving him behind and he doesn't want them to ("Train don't leave!") because he loves them. I dunno what he means by "Devil left his mark" but it always makes me think of Robert Johnson. For those who don't know: Robert Johnson was a blues musician supposedly sold his soul to the devil in ordinary to be a great blues guitarist. "Bright eyes hold my blue book" might mean that he gave whoever it was something sentimental to remember him by- perhaps a diary or journal or something like that.

Indian Summer is beautiful. I hope they aren't forgotten or ignored by future generations.
