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.
for me, the song is about wanting to be with someone, and when you are there is that surge of emotion. the panic, the passion, the anxiety, the happiness. this song is absolutely beautiful. i got the album right after it came out, but until recently i just kind of skipped over this track. i think that explosions in the sky makes lovely music to begin with, but this song... i just find it to be so raw, and just so full of emotion. i think that a lot of music these days gets caught up in the lyrics, and sometimes the music takes a backseat, and as such most of the emotion comes from the words and not the beat. but this song demonstrates the mood of what it is about so wonderfully i think that if it had words it might not be as great as it is.
I find this to be such a touching song.
I always picture this to be about those crazy times when you like someone and desperatly want to be alone with them, but every time you're alone with them, bam, some thing inturrupts.
I think the entire song is about the one moment two people were either reunited or the first moment they had together. It is quite possible that they could have been forbidden to be with each other, which is why there time alone was so short. It speeds up at parts to represent passion, slows down to represent tears, and pleasantly flows to represent conversation.
Not my idea, but one that i subscribe to:
(background) you have this girl and this guy, they meet through mutual friends and they get along really well and they start dating. They date for like a year and everything is going well and they hang out with friends a lot and everything is healthy, but eventually little things start happening that drive them apart. Like external things, not things within the relationship. like a death in the family or friends that don't get along. So even though this girl and guy really love eachother, they can't make it work. so they break up, but still have feelings for each other. now like four years pass and they're no longer in contact, but they both still have some old heartfelt feelings for the other.
idea: the guy and the girl are both at a conference (or something like it) and neither knows the other is there, but they bump into each other over a punch bowl filling up a glass, and their eyes meet and the entire song is the single moment that they met over the punch bowl.

Used very well in the trailer for "Australia"

i get shivers when i hear this song.
bliiss, harmony, power, redemption. wonderful.
Indeed.
This song is beatiful. In my opinion, the ending is easily the best climax in music.
This song reminds me of my ex. I never told her, but in my head I always thought of it as our song. I really miss her.
this is their best song.
