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.
the title of the song, to me, signifies children growing up and becoming the skeletons they hold in their closet. The lies that they've lived and the experiences they've had. It's all about growing up and becoming alone, like a skeleton.
I like that interpretation.
I enjoy this song; I find it to be the only flaw with the sarcastic title of the album, as it is the "happy"est tune here while the rest are all quite somber in their own ways.
"the kids, the children" (the youth, the future) "will be dead, will be nothin as we are nothing" (the beauty is just young ulgy thing... i dont know how to express myself cause i'm french, but for me this is... what is beautiful and young and whatyouwant will be ugly and dead and old... one day, nothing can change, the time is the only important thing and we are his slaves.
I agree with DoItForTheTeam. It's about the cyclical nature of our lives. The music, in terms of volume and intensity, starts slow, peaks, and then falls to its conclusion. Like a human life...kids will be skeletons.

Well this song makes me think of sunrise in a grimy city, the moment when you realise that it looks beautiful.
And I think the title is funny. (the back cover says 'happy songs OR happy people) :D
I always thought the title was a reference to Halloween.

the title reminds me of the saying "kids will be kids"
inevitability.
this is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I agree with it being about, sort of the cycle of life. how kids will eventually be skeletons one day.
