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.
It's weird. I used to think this song was a boring piece of filler, but it's actually become one of my favorite songs on the album, especially when put in context. After the emotional devastation of Washer, For Dinner is a relief, a gentle ebb and flow like the sea's tide, a moment of calm before Goodnight, Captain. It's peaceful yet bleakly sinister; it sounds a lot like the way depressive exhaustion feels, when you feel so low that there's almost a certain bliss in your helplessness and despair.

Exactly, well said.

Anyone know why this song is called "For Dinner...?"
I think it means Brians undying love for David. Signified by the lack of lyrics. Well done for creating this page, Mellow_Harsher
