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 believe this is just train of thought...I do this often, not in serous terms tho, connecting words, and phrases and sentences as they come and how they feel to me.

K.Rygg has admitted to doing such writings.

Yeah, i think it's probably just a string of ideas, or perhaps something to do with memories, like a person's own private record of their life. im probably wrong...amazing song though, and the video's reeally weird

I think a lot of the lyrics point to it being about Christ. According to a lot of sources, he was about 33 when he died. Also, it may have to do with how his original teaching were distorted into what we know as Christianity today- the lyrics "For the record, no one will understand what it is all about" especially support this. "It is a promise of a lifetime never recorded." Because of the fact that the gospels were actually written years after his death, we can only speculate about some of what happened in his lifetime. If you watch the video with this in mind, it actually makes more sense.
