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.
This song is just epic. To me, it makes me think of all those alien invasion movies or games, where they just have one major battle where its like thousands of thousands of enemies against you and your thousands and thousands of people. Then the battle, and then rather abruptly, the battle is over. The whole landscape around them is nearly completely destroyed, but they look around, they've won. "The Cure" may be referring to hope, hoping that this huge fight won't have to happen again. I can see this song in a WW2 movie.
I don't know how, but this song is brutal and beautiful at the same time. It took one more release for me to know that Explosions is one of the best bands of my generation.
I feel like the beginning is the catastrophe, which slowly leads into the final ballad of the cure towards the end. This song helps me think so well...listening to this song makes me feel emotionally confused but absolutely complete at the same time, never before has an any music stopped me in my tracks as firmly as explosions.
Drums kind of sound like weapons firing, don't they? Either way, this song feels like conflict that stops and then starts again. Almost like a cycle..."the cure" never really cures for long.
LOOOOOVE this song!!!! I don't know how I feel about the beginning being "Catastrophe" because it sounds pretty happy to me, but the end is most def "Cure".

I think the comes in two parts. The beginning must be Catasrophe and the second part must be the cure. The ending is a bit more inline and tame.
