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.

I'm pretty sure a lot of these are wrong, but I have no clue what's actually being said.

Despite te fact that, yeah, this lyrics misses something (something gibberish anyway), it's a song about living in a relationship without balance, with confused roles. I personally had relationship like that and this song explained perfectly my feelings

it's about living with someone older and scared about feelings and relationships and being the younger yet smarter one.

the younger one ask his love not to lie to him, not to make things unecessary complicated. he's young and he doesn't have nothing to lose, he wants to follow his lover ("his muse"), to share things with him and to slow down things and relax ("lay with me"), maybe in a childish way but he knows how to make things work.

the older one is the one that got experience and despite his age is the one who still have something to prove, something to learn: maybe improving his behaviour ("don't lie to me, don't sneak it up") ("can't be at half a wife")

His misbehaviour eventually leads to the end of the relationship (maybe the older one wanted it, but he didn't have the guts to take the decision) and the younger one says he has to think about himself now, that he cannot fix the situation but time will, maybe he's still hurt but he moves on ("my heart won't stand still"), still thinking about him and the pointless situation ("cannot hold half a life / be at half a wife" it explains a unfair situation between them) and wishing time will change things he couldn't.

still, i have an alternative interpretation of that "i cannot chage you but time WILL", that will sounds pretty harsh, something like "you'll think about this one day and you'll regret, but i won't be here anymore" ("my heart won't stay still")

it's a great song. helped me figure out things in harsh times.
