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... It makes me think of a nightmare... mainly because of the title. So at the start its really quiet... it's a peaceful snooze, and then as the instruments get louder, the nightmare starts to build up and everything goes nuts... and as the instruments quiet down again the person wakes up.
I like this introduction, much like the introductions on Reanimation and Meteora. It is actually like waking up, because for a long time you're asleep, and then the rest of the music comes in and it's like, "BAM!"
LP stated on an interview that they made this because it gave a whole new vibe for the album. But I do realize something-- On Hybrid Theory and Meteora (I guess Reanimation should count too), Mr.Hahn or whoever had their own instrumentals: "Cure for the Itch" and "Session", remember? So where is it on the new album?
This song is like waking up but in and interview thay said that they choose the title for the dual meaning, waking up and the wake of a boat, the waves created by the boat like the fear created by a dream.
I love this introduction, perfect for the album minutes to midnight is the first album I heard from Linkin Park an I loved it first time XD I agree that it could be about a nightmare and the person waking up from it but I also think it could be about a sudden realisation of some sort coz if you listen to the rest of the album most of the songs are about problems and issues and what they feel about them like with the songs given up,leave out all the rest, shadow of the day, what I've done, hands...

This song I think it's saying wake up M2M is a different album and you need to see that and maybe foreshadowing ATS's style.
