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.

that little keyboard part at the end of When The Water Breaks.
and they dont need to be instrumental songs...just instrumental sections (Metropolis Pt 1)
This song is insane.
This is like the song I was hoping DT would make.
Parts I, pretty much, adore:
Erotomania at 3.00
The entry of the ytse jaM, plus it's flawless transistion into the Dance of Eternity (for a while I thought they played the whole ytse jaM medley)
And of course the epic ending: Hell's kitchen.
The solo on the end of 'When the water breaks' should be accounted for, because I'm pretty sure they changed that part in A change of seasons after the Instrumedley.

yeah, now that I'm more familiar with DT, I can see some errors on it. Thanks. And by the way, Octavarium is not an instrumental
No kidding... I meant pieces from each of the songs on the album, naturaly.
I'm pretty sure this is spot on:
