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.
The way this builds gives the most AWE-some feeling ever, in the true sense of the word
if you could peel open my skull you'd see a :O expression on my brain
reminds you of either a truly beautiful eccentric mind misjudged, or a truly beautiful ordinary mind overlooked. This is someone's life in 7 minutes 35. When I bought Copia it came with a booklet describing all the artists on Temporary Residence Ltd. and it said of Eluvium: "A sound so emotionally gripping you will swear it was coming from inside of your own brain"
also reminds me of those silent movies with someone stuck on a ship during a violent storm... with an umbrella...
