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.
This is probaly my favorite track on nearly's debut release. i just love the sound; and this song just has this amazing feeling of dispair, and betrayal; as if something has left you.
By the way, I added all of nearly's lyrics off of reminder since NOONE had bothered to post lyrics ANYWHERE on the internet. i can't believe hardly anyone's even had comment's on jerome dillon's songs! they're just plain... beautiful.

onethousandsouls - the lyrics were posted on the nearLY myspace group when the record was first released. ;)
As I said before, all of these songs are just amazing. Go JD!
Damn, well that means I made a fool of myself on the nearly forums too? lmao. Never knew that, so thanks.
