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 is a song that needs no lyrics. The music speaks directly to your heart in a way that no lyric or rhyme could ever hope to match. To me it is a story of love. It perfectly describes what it feels like to give more love than you have to someone and receive little more than the occasional smile in your direction in return. It's like watching as those beautiful eyes look towards you, but not at you.
I had a different reaction, but possibly because I heard this song two days before my friend died of heart failure at the age of 28.
Now it reminds me of her. Never has a piece of music burrowed so deep in me. I have to wonder what kind of loss these musicians experienced before writing something so moving.
