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.
I was expecting this to be a finished version of Untitled 5... Untitled 5 isnt even on the album yet it was one of the best demos. I'm kind of dissapointed.
Notice how this song is called "The Light" and it's in the middle of the album. By "The Light Divided" get it? I guess that means the album is the City. Oh and great instrumental track
Yeah Knife2agunFight, Geoff said on the podcast that this is the song that divides the album in two. If you really care too, close your eyes and listen to it...you get an imagine of light moving-mayhaps even a train. And the metaphors keep going.
I, too, really wish this song was on the album...(demo 5 I mean). They had plenty of room. I guess it's just still unfinished. I hope that when they do finish it though, if ever, they don't mess it up. In fact, I really like it just the way it is right now.
They recorded this song live in the studio (as in not instrument by instrument, but 5 instruments in the studio at once just playing a hard draft - - explained in the podcast). Great instrumental altogether, makes you think and imagine.
Its like no matter what happens, you just keep going. Kind of like a train going on through snow and rain and storms. Pretty uplifting really, like it :)
