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.
Heard it off the Performance soundtrack. Good ol fashioned psychedelic soul
When I close my eyes and listen to this song, this is what I see:
It’s the late sixties and at the same an Apollo rocket is circling the moon, a group of teens arrive at a cabin in the woods where there are dead bodies inside. These images are interrupted by other strange images of babies being born, sex, a roller coaster ride from the rider’s point of view; Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow approaching the Emerald City and psychedelic images of what looks like giant insect legs (minus the insect) being firmly planted into the ground.
