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 love how this starts the album. This song is like someone waking up from a long sleep and finally being at peace with the world. They've had their struggles and eventually they were just too much to take and the person conked out. Their body reset itself, and when they woke up they just understood. Wonderful song.
to be fair, one of these days isn't wholly intrumental.
well, it can't really be classified as anything else
but the "one of these days i'm going to cut you into little pieces" is sooo fucking significant.
god, i need to relax and go to rehab for floyd addiction.
I agree with inpraiseoffolly that all their other instrumentals are better than this one. Is the Division Bell a concept album? Lyrically it seems like the intrapersonal equivalent of DSOTM.

Fucking genius. Everything by Pink Floyd.
beautiful way to start an album

Methinks this song nods to sadness while looking beyond to acknowledge hope, unknown things and acceptance. Perhaps.
Seems like to me that the album's about alienation. So...
The title is 'Cluster One', a reference to being in a completely different world that everyone else. So far out in space that you can't communicate.
I like that it starts out so empty sounding; clean and refreshing, then turns to alienation.

jeeeesus.
I agree thedanman.
I believe the meaning is classic Floyd. Cluster One is a category of severe psychological disorders, reference the DSMIV-R. =o)
A great song, it's kind of like a prologue to the album. It introduces you sort of like, "hello, I'm the division bell!"

Doesnt this have something 2 do with publius enigma?
