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.
I think this song in a reflection of the madeleine and tea passage of Marcel Proust's "Swann's Way."
The first line is obviously the first initial taste of the combination, by the end there's the sense of familiarity.
The second line is obviously about the growing sensation of the memory which has not fully presented itself yet
The third line is the true remembrance of the memories of Combray, and his aunt and the indulgence of the great days walking through the gardens and the memories of the churches of Combray,
The last line elaborates on the passage as the memory has been remembered and begins to peter out. It's really poses an interesting view of the protagonist of the story, Marcel, as possibly showing early signs of alzheimers and having his final vivid memories before he finally slips into cenility.
Or, it's not really about anything. One or the other.
k well this was kind of pointless lyrics.... but does anyone know why its called Fanfare? since thats the only thing we can really discuss about this (keep in mind that its the intro to Parkdale)

Quite possibly--no, definitely--the pinnacle of Metric's songwriting.
