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.
Using Audacity I found what the slow voice says at the end:
Blink at the knifelight
The water, it's cold like when I kneel at Death's Gate
I am the bringer of the siege
Like a ground pig who awaits it's master
I live in a monument to a fallen soldier
Let me lie awake and condense this fog
Bring me to harbor
Bring me to harbor
To me it reeks of helplessness of addiction. Everybody boards the boat thinking it'll be fine and they can handle the sea, then when a storm comes and the waters get choppy and a rogue wave hits, you can only beg to be taken home as the sea has its way with you.
The whole album seems to start with happiness and brotherly love and outrageousness, then the album touches the core with Captain before spiraling in on itself, leaving behind songs of vapidity and concluding with a hyper real and heartfelt "If You Could Save Yourself".
sounds like hes saying you bring me round at the very end i dont get why it only says captain turn around and take me home for lyrics when it never says that in the song
"i dont get why it only says captain turn around and take me home for lyrics when it never says that in the song" wow, superjackstraw, have you ever even heard this song before? stop ruining this site with fucking bullshit posts, it's really annoying.
speed this song up about 60% and it turns into a mournful, funky progression supporting a nasty solo from deaner to boot. trippy, i'd like to know what the stanza means.
with the crazy slowness and trippiness that this song imparts i'd suggest that it's about someone on a bad trip with a friend. deciding that they are not having a good time and wanting it to stop...but it can't
The song is about feeling like you're not in control of your life and simultaneously not liking the direction it's going in. Instead of being in charge, he is simply a passenger -- imploring the "Captain" to turn around and take him home.
Very sad; comes from his despair upon realizing that he is headed for ruin (because of his own actions) and there is nothing he can do to save himself except hope and plead.

What are you, retarded? Those are, with the exeption of the barely audible bits at the end, the only lyrics to the song.

"i dont get why it only says captain turn around and take me home for lyrics when it never says that in the song"
