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.
Please don't put it into words
'Cause I fear what you're thinking
It's gonna make it hurt
You better not try to make me
Believe in someone new
[Chorus:]
Faithless
On my way
Defenseless
From my heart, won't you be
Heartless, here with me
Breathless, from this night's misery
This night will start the Exile... RUN!
Now you tell me what it was worth
Was it meant to be broken
The circle that wouldn't shed a single tear
And now you wanna redirect me from the face of the earth
Not willing to share your time
Not near
Not far
I'm just a spectator, once loved
Just fear
Just scars
A sheer introduction to what I've lost, to what I've lost...
[Chorus:]
Faithless
On my way
Defenseless
From my heart, won't you be
Heartless, here with me
Breathless, from this night's misery
(from this night's misery)
One more endless night...
To notice all the things I have to be...
[Solo]
[Chorus:]
Faithless
on my way
Won't forget...
From my heart, won't you be
Heartless, here with me
Breathless, from this night's misery
This night will start the exile... RUN!
(I believe he's saying he doesn't want to hear the truth about their relationship with one another... and how they or one them is turning into another person)
"[Chorus:]
Faithless
On my way
Defenseless
From my heart, won't you be
Heartless, here with me
Breathless, from this night's misery
This night will start the Exile... RUN!"
(I think he's saying he just wants to forget their differences or whatever is going on and just be how it use to be and just run away from it all)
"Now you tell me what it was worth
Was it meant to be broken
The circle that wouldn't shed a single tear
And now you wanna redirect me from the face of the earth
Not willing to share your time
Not near
Not far
I'm just a spectator, once loved
Just fear
Just scars
A sheer introduction to what I've lost, to what I've lost..."
(i think he's saying that the person keeps showing that they are changing and how much its hurting him and effecting him and how different everything is and how the person isn't showing any attention at all to him )
This song means a lot to me I may not be correct at all on what it means but I have been able to relate these words to some people in my lives relationships and soilwork is just plain amazing in every song they have! Even more amazing in concert <3 Soilwork
