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 wondering if the life you live could possibly be more disconnected than assumed, instead of the ripple effect theory of everything happening in a chain of events that eventually leads to a reaction based on a certain action pertaining. In this idea, the hope would not lie in our actions and the actions of others to determine out ultimate fate, but completely and solely on the grace and hope in a higher being; in this case, Jesus.' - Falling Up

I think the general idea of the song is redemption though Christ after a bad experience in life. In the first verse, the car could represent a life that has fallen from ood times into a wreck: "from street to sea." As the person fells around him, he realizes "how cold" the world is, leading to the chourun in which Christ is "drawing near." Any ideas about "Star-crossed tears?" I think star-crossed is a state of bliss, which would contrast with tears??

Star-crossed means doomed. Like in Romeo in Juliet, the two are star-crossed lovers. Since people thought that the astrological signs determined their fates, if the stars were aligned a certain way, it could spell disaster.

Like tenshi372 quoted, "the hope would not lie in our actions and the actions of others to determine our ultimate fate". Since there are no more star-crossed tears, it is saying that we don't believe destiny rules us anymore. There is something better guiding us: Jesus.
