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.
this song has the exact same guitar melody as oblivion ocean. I fell that this is probably the strongest instrumental songs on BE and it really supports the element of the rapid decline of mans population.
In Deus Nova, the population is growing exponentially over centuries. In Nihil Morari, the song directly prior to this song, the population is still rapidly growing at intervals of decades between Year 2000 AD and Year 2050 AD.
In this song, a global catastrophe/doomsday event has occured, causing the global population of 10 billion to become reduced to simply 1.2 million, an event known as a "population bottleneck".

At this point in the story, the earth's population is now decreasing rapidly. Things have caught up with mankind, and they're in trouble.

Simple: Population bottleneck.

Put short, humanity got pwned. Hard.
True dat, Fade, true dat.
