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 is just a really good jam session, kind of like the Pinion of Year Zero. One of my personal favorites, simply because I just like Trent's intrumentals better than any ever. Well I guess it's not technically an instrumental...But basically yeah.
It's just laying down the rest of the album, with a march of soldiers.<p><b><i>Edited by Mellow_Harsher on September 9 2007, at 01:19PM</i></b></p>
P3N1X and [EmpireOfDirt]...you are being sarcastic right?
Everyone, hyperpower at wikipedia, and god have mercy on your ignorance. Also, Hyperpower needs an exclamation point.
It's an instrumental intro retards, and it has one word that kind of has to do with the story line. Some people are just born with extra chromosones, you can't help it.
And Dragonball Z can lick a scabby cockhole for all i care.
While you're all learning about 'hyperpower' on wikipedia you should maybe look up Francis Fukuyama and "The End of History and the Last Man" while you're at it. "Hyperpower" is one interpretation of a particular point in time, "The Beginning of the End" is another, essential reading for this idea being Paul Kennedy's "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers". The songs work best as a pair. Great to see NIN has followed through on the political turn the project took in "With Teeth"!

yes. of course we're being sarcastic.
...Okay. Let's say for all intents and purpouses, that I, myself, am Our Country.
"HYPERPOWER! WE NEED MORE POWER! WE CANNOT LET ANYTHING ELSE BE ABOVE US! FUCK EVERYTHING ELSE! WE NEED POWER!"
Now, the song kinda has ideals of the old belief of Manifest Destiny.
