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.
Lyrics echo Brave New World.
"Ever since I was born" etc refers to the training that citizens were subjected to since almost before 'birth'.
The lyrics that complete that couplet are "Kiss me, hug me, snuggly bunny; Love's as good as Soma", soma being a drug. Snuggly bunny isn't quite Pendulum's style however *;-P .
this song is NOT by the drum & bass pendulum, it was released in 1997 by a different pendulum, an electronica group who faded away a while back..
regardless its still a wicked song =D
The "Hug me till you drug me honey, kiss me till im in a coma" line is from the book Brave New World.
The opening line, "ever since i was born ive been trained to serve you" and the "am i not all you dreamed i would be" lines are pitched down/slowed down samples from the movie "Coming to America".

I was reading Brave New World for school and got so excited when i read these lyrics and suddenly realised i knew it from this song.
