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 so sad. Many people focus on Avril 14th's melody as the meloncholy of the album, yet I see it as brighter piece. This song, to me, signifies the end of something long; something beautiful, torn down by death or anger or hate--perhaps fighting. The song represents the somber period after the end. Reflection, regret, but with the last note a look in to the light and a push to move on.
I don't feel that this is a sad song. So much depends on your perspecitve and state of mind though, doesn't it? On the contrary, I feel it to be quite happy and warm, just a meandering, albeit emotional, stroll through somewhere beautiful. Just listen to the sound of that 'instrument', the layering of different vibrating bells accompanying every note. Specifically, I find the opening and closing sequences to be no less than joyful crescendos.

I think of a cathedral when I first hear the song, but the chords seem to get more and more somber until you realize how alone you really are...
