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 this hymn-like interlude (track #18) comes from the inscription over the Lincoln Memorial, which states, "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever." Interestingly enough, it could also be interpreted as another nod to Superman, or “The Man of Metropolis,” as Sufjan calls him in the preceding track (#12). In the 2004-2005 Superman comics, Superman’s Fortress of Solitude was destroyed, prompting him to reestablish one in an ancient temple in the Cordillera Del Condor Mountains. The song seems to show him reflecting here, and notes that he is not only in this temple, but in the hearts of the people he just saved. “Man for whom he saved the earth” illustrates Superman’s sacrifice for humanity.
on the wall of the lincoln memorial, right above lincoln's statue, it says, "in this temple, as in the hearts of the people, for whom he saved the union."

beautiful song
This song seems such a part of 'They Are Night Zombies!!' that I don't even notice the changeover. Sounds so ancient and mysterious. I love it
