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.
This song is about the ridiculousness of the term "neighbourhood watch". Walking around the town and seeing the familiar sign of a policeman and some citizens in the little yellow box, I stopped and thought to myself "what does this actually mean?" The answer is NOTHING. If some crazy person decides to burgal someone, they're gonna do it. On a wider scale, if a nation is going to go and bomb another nation, they're gonna get on with it. It doesn't matter how much we all look out for each other - even tho' it's a nice thought, and it's what we SHOULD be doing - unfortunately, you can't stop the evil that posseses some people's minds. We all stick together, but those individuals that spoil it for everyone else, and refuse to stick to societys rules, will have a lasting effect because they're the ones that have the most profound effect.
