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.
All of this album is pretty much centered around Roy Sullivan, right? And, Roy Sullivan was struck by lightning 7 times, but how did he die? Suicide, and over an Unrequited Love. This song, though simple PERFECTLY describes an unrequited love. "I love you", He loves someone. "Love me too" He wants the person to love him back. Very simple, yet perfectly described. Just what I think.
I Hate Myself is my favorite band and this competes for my favorite record of theirs. I think that the latter is actually just "love me too". "I love you, love me too."
IHM are the only band that can make a song with just these yrics and make it truly beautiful.
Someone loves someone, but they don't love them back, and so that person is forced to say they love themselves because no one else will. "I love you. I love me too." Sad. :(
I've got to reiterate that the latter lyric is just "love me too". When you put the "I" in front of it, it could change the intent a little bit. Ray Sullivan, as you probably know was struck by lightning 7 times. The song is called "The Lightning Says". This is the lighting telling Ray "I love you, love me too". If I were hardpressed to delve into this song any farther than this is what the lightning is saying, I would say that this song is about accepting things that you can't help. I usually hate it when people try to pick apart songs too deeply though.

This really marks the end of I Hate Myself. Seeing as the last words they ever say are "I Love Me Too" as opposed to "I Hate Myself".
Is it really "I love me too"?
I always thought "love me too" =/
