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.

A truly sad and heartbreaking song, but the version of this song on Home Is In Your Head is criminally lopped off to a total running time of 18 seconds! Search for the full version which has these lyrics:

are you coming down this weekend? are you coming down at all? i miss you years what do you still look like? i don't remember any more i even saved some of your tears got a picture of you staring looking deep at me something's still engraved got a picture of you in pain maybe all we're through it has ended it's still going on if you're not very busy we could always try again you could always find me here are you coming down this weekend? are you coming down at all?
