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 screaming at the start is so Realistic.. it isnt average screaming in fear.. it is just desperately trying to express his pain (emotional or physical) but it is the best start to a song i have heard for a long time!!!
Well.. personally I like to visualise the situation.. the screams at the start have an almost metalic sound.. which makes me think of a metal room or cell in which he is being kept, maybe tortured in. Then slowly the other instruments cover the pain he is in. (which i imagine as being similar to slowly moving away from the cell along a corridor with the people playing instruments in).. later on there are whoops of joy.. as if the humanity of the person is now gone, and they are no longer sane.. and then the sinister feeling is expressed even more.. as if looking upon a person you once knew who lost their mind.

Releasing pent up rage perhaps?
Taking the later screams into account....Bi-polar?
looks like interpol was experimenting with a punk sound in this song, pretty wild off the wall song.
