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 the song is about the main character's encounter with a Giant Enemy Crab. It sounds like the explosion sound at the end of the song is when the main character attacked the crab's weak point for massive damage.
Bitchin' vibes mi bredren.
I massy agree. Concur to tha slurr.
This is the song describing the "Hero's" situation of just recieveing new perspective from the Cysquatch encounter.
Leaping from the labrynth with energy to confront his next obstacle a little Ninja Shennanigenns becomes happenstance.
ShennaNinjagenns, if you will.
So now imagine a badass, survivalist-gong-fu-genius pincered by a Koga-Nin sect of assassins -ducking darts, tackstars, and arrows, catching deathcuts between his index and mid fing gigglin' in a field of high brush with a slight incline headed towards an 'inviting' forest...
I love it. I love to play it really loud while everyone else on the teeeeny tiny top floor of my house is trying to sleep. Oh, the glee of screeching, fast-forwarding, staticky, distorted spoken nonsense so very manipulated that it's unrecognizable as human (the crazy screeching sounds do have some human vocals mixed in). At 2am. Gleeeeeee.
Mastodon is the fucking greatest metal band I've heard in a long ass time, I can't beleive it took me until Blood Mountain to give these guys a listen. This song is fucking awesome, it's absolutely insane and I fucking love it. I'm so gonna teach myslef how to play this, and find the tabs for what i cant get.
Everytime I hear this song I think of a "boss battle" where Bladecatcher is a boss that the hero has to defeat before moving on to the "next level." Anyway, it's fucking class.
Yeah, I agree with whoever said that this song was about the "Hero" gaining a new perspective on his journey due to the Cysquatch encounter, and then some.
This song shows Mastodon's maturity as a band. The weird noise is whistling through distortion, or at least that's what it looked like when I saw them live. The riffs in this song are long, complex, and excellent. Yet ANOTHER instant Mastodon classic.

i find it annoying when you try to put your own picture for the song into my head, because its not my own.

Awesome song, though. AMAZING live.
