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 agree, there is some musical symbolism here, especially when you look at how this song fits into Whoracle as a concept album. The songs preceeding it all describe ancient human history (with the exception of Jotun), and the songs after it describe a theoretical utopian society (which is eventually destroyed). I like to look at Dialogue as a "fast-forward", as it were.
I agree!
And since dialogue with the stars could take an astronomical amount of time, and is a very deep and profound thing to do, so the time it takes to communicate with the stars could in fact be the same amount of time as needed for the "fast forward" you spoke of.

I fuckin' love this song... it's really calming and I can feel cold streams running through my body when I listen to it (because it's so great).
I especially love the title... it's kind of abstract. A Dialogue with the Stars. The song really gives the feeling that you are being lifted up to the stars (the melody + the guitar playing thirds are contributing to it).
I think the title suits the song fine. If you think about it, the stars make no sound, and this song has no lyrics at all. Also, I pretty much agree with the posters above.

Sexy riffage too!

And yes, the riffage is indeed sexy.
