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.
When I listen to this song, i can see a whole story.
At the beginning there's this guy in a hospital, and his eyebrows start moving. By 1:00 I see all the doctors and the nurses, around his bed, watching him wake up. It's awesome how after so many years he has waken up, to life. After that I see how he regains his life, and starts watching what's new in the world. By the end of the song I just see him in his home, with his family.
to me, the title 'first breath after coma' is a metaphor for a second chance (specifically a new outlook) or a sudden realization of some sort. for example, realizing that something you have been searching for has been right in front of you all along. some identify with love. personally, i see it as discovering a new direction in life. whomever or whatever it is for you...let your eyes be opened around 2 minutes and 27 seconds into the song. intense stuff.
as with all their songs, youre left to construct your own meaning. this song reminds me of this time this girl and i were in this huge sunlit auditorium and there were swallows trapped inside. the doors to the upper balconies were locked so i had to climb up the wall to open the window. i was rewarded for this with a kiss, and it was like a cinematic moment. the room brightly lit sunlight all around us and birds chirping and flying around. i guess the epic scope of that one small kiss resonates with me in this epic song.
Something I find EiTS does with their music, they'll write a title, and give the untold story a soundtrack. It's up to you to build it. I think, more than any song, First Breath is the most diversified in terms of story telling.
The first time I heard this song, I was reminded of an animated film I watched about a year ago called "The Place Promised In Our Early Days". It's a love story in which two guys are in love with a girl who has been in a coma for years. She is in love with one of them and sees him in "dreams" she has during the coma, but is unable to reach him. In the final scene of the movie, she wakes up as dawn breaks and the guy she loves is right beside her (to say the exact circumstances would spoil the plot - see it, it's an awesome movie).
Anyway, I just found the imagery and feelings that the music evokes to be very reminiscient of what I got from the movie ^_^.
