Tokyoto Lyrics

oh, my home
is a frozen lake
shadows skate past
figures, i say
i laughed out
at the lines they made
while overhead
they flicker and dissipate

saying, i was born a spark
and i burned
burned, myself a watermark
i left, myself a trail
to find my way
when i fell, a stray

and i walked a whale
didn't rest, for many a day old
to sing, to say, oh
i will be again
i have already been

oh, i know i am going home
but i don't know when
i don't know when

the foolish crack
but i will be here again
to ruin and spit in

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.
