Downbeat Lyrics

I lost myself a thousand times...
Now I succumb to senses blind.
It's all or none.
(No glory in the goal of some
All or none its black or white
(No strength now for shades of grey)
I THIRST! I DREAM!
I BURN! - I SCREAM...
I slow my heartbeat
Indifference holds my sanity
Yet just intoxicated.
By thoughts of Self
(This worldly frame! This cage! This Hell!)
Unknowing Fool I Am
To join its Ranks and spectacle
Open your eyes (Everything lies)

Keep it true to the song

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.
