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 is about LIF! Nothing matters....nothing....ever.
I look at this song the way Erik described the album in general...."A Natural Death is about the futility and arrogance of creation and destruction, the overwhelming scale of space and time, and the brutal majesty of nature, the horror of birth and the beauty of death. Everyone who will ever live will die a natural death, and will soon after be forgotten for eternity. Hopefully this album will serve as a warning to the human race to stop taking itself so seriously, as we have seen the dire consequences of its actions in the future....you are nothing."
I also really like how the man's voice in the song is explaining how he got a "funny feeling" and realized what he had been worrying about was really no big deal at all. I take it he realized what Eric was talking about.
At night, turn off every light outside and any light inside that you could possibly see from the outside, smoke a j or blunt, and listen to both "I Think We Both Suffer From the Same Crushing Metaphysical Crisis" and "Lif".
in fact...after enjoying some christmas purple nurple and playing this song again (i actually started with i think we are both and let it lead in) i found somethin...it's cool because, somewhat like the black hole at the end of the mechanical hand, you can catch references to each song throughout this song, i think actually counting backwards in order (listen for the girl crying, sounds of the beach, the bear, etc and not in that order what so ever) and it eventually ends with the howling winds that open hyperborea. so really a natural death can be played in a continuous loop...which is an entertaining take on immortality or the soul or the continuing cycle of life or death or something i think

Is it just me or does the line where he's saying "And suddenly i got this funny feeling" sound like it came from The Wonder Years? Great song.
This song is just so chilling, and amazing. It's a wonderful ending to a fantastic album.(even thought I got the Best Buy edition with 3 extra tracks)

LIF is incomplete
yea, that definitely sounds like the wonder years my man
one of the best songs i have ever heard in my life.. and the name is perfect for its meaning
AMAZING gave me a boner
i'm just throwing this out there, but Nathan said that "the reason they spelled it 'Lif' is because life is never complete.
