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've been reading about, looking at pictures of you is..."
I can make out a scattered half of the lyrics in the first half of the song, like "sick humour.. death is no festival".
A recognisable part is:
"many people die too late, a few too early [something] tried to die right on time"
which is a rough quote from Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietszche.
The clearest section is:
"I could no longer see or hear or feel anything. I could see and hear and feel everything simultaneously. I awake in the corridor to Frederick smiling, standing over me. 'I didn't tell you,' he says, 'how did you know? How did you know?' He smiled and walked off. From where I was lying I could see the [sandpit exterior and the swings?]"
After that the instruments get louder and the lyrics in the final third are completely buried.
