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 fuckin´awesome, you can feel the music surrounding your head, like spinning. Colors, noises, energy... then it goes silent and dies. I love Mr. Reznor´s instrumental songs. It´s all in your imagination
I love how this song, throughout, sounds to me like something you'd hear in a Final Fantasy game. especially in the beginning.. and including when he starts screaming and screaming. it sounds very airy and digital at the same time to me. quite nice.
now as for what the song means.. well.. I get the impression, from the music, that it's.. "la de da.. another nice day.." and then when he starts screaming, it's.. "oh crap. snags everywhere. help!"
The majority is very complex sounding, like various emotions and ideas constantly competing until the end when they seem to snag together and die down. The end always feels kind of sad to me, like these things are trying to get back up smoothly, but fall away again.
wow... i'm not the only person who thinks of video games when i hear this song. hahaha.
on the lines of a meaning, i don't know. i'm pretty sure the whole album of the fragile is about drugs.
being high.
coming down at the end.
that's a complication.
and it blends really good into the begining "please", which i conclude is about never wanting to come down from a high. but i guess i should talk about that in the "please" thread.

This intsrumental sounds a lot like "We're in the together".
I guess it's about the complication that comes after forming relationships... hence "we're in this together now"
lol... sooory had a few typos in that last post... bring drunk sucks.
This is what I meant to say:
This instrumental sounds a lot like the song "We're in this together" which is also off the fragile.
I think he's talking about the complication that arrives after forming realtionships.
In other words, you can say "Nothing can stop us now" all you want, but you suddenly arrive at "Complication". Pure genius.
Ahh, the energicity of this song. It makes me feel kinda happy always i hear it.

lol, that was pretty funny keyyooo, but yea, this song pumps me up b/c the song is just that type of song IMO
It just creates an images of cars driving really fast at night on the motorway and /or a car race/chase
