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 one of the most amazing songs that I have ever heard...It is so short and to the point, but it has such a deep and profound meaning that hits home differently in everyone's heart. Everyone wants to get away...whether from themselves or from their lives in search for something new. But we all find out that in the end, we find comfort and the things and people that are close to our hearts. A room in a house, a meeting place, the voice of a close friend...all of these things we are able to return to and 'find ourselves by fire' to warm our hearts and our souls. This song paints such a vivid image of this inner struggle that we all enounter in some fashion, and Erin's lovely voice carries it and sows it into my heart as if she's making me realize something that I know all too well. I love this song. A lot.
