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 think this song is about liking someone so much but yet it cant be quite right, it's saying on one
hand that you can be a sweet dream or you can be a beautiful nightmare, from personal experience, I love someone that it just can't be quite right, in my dreams it can sweet or a beauiful nightmare, but yet no matter what we don't want to be without them. but thats my interpretation I could very well be wrong.
Either they're a couple and they just cannot physically be together or it is about a crush. On balance it is probably a couple that can't be together.

The line "Every night I rush to my bed, With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you when I close my eyes" sounds like she is prevented from physically seeing him.

And to me the line "not even death can make us part" sounds like they're already a couple. It would say "...could make us part" if this were a crush.

i love this song.... definitely about having a crush on someone and being so obsessed with them, hoping you dream abou tthem each night, and cant get enough of them. like she says , you can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare , either way she likes feeling that way about someone so she doesnt really care in the end whether or not it turns out to be real love or just a silly crush.
i agree with coconut33 about what it is about. and i can totally relate! i love the beat and lyrics of this song. i used to not like beyonce's music that much but her new album was a really good comeback!
I understand that she's singing about her relationship to God instead of a man, you can think deeper about it. God in a way is not purely good as mainstream church make us believe, God can also be a "beautiful nightmare " as she puts it. "Clouds filled with stars cover your skies" isn't God present in all the cosmos? Aren't the skies His? "Not even death can make us apart, she will remain in His presence wherever she goes. It's more than just a common relationship in my opinion.
wow i think people know what beyonce is talking about from their own personal stories! its the feeling when you love someone so much, you just want to go to bed so that you can dream about them. the dream can be sweet because youre with them, but it could also be a nightmare because you wish it was really happening and you dont know if itll come true. but either way, you want to stay in the dream forever :) i love this songgg!
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
comparing this to twilight kind of makes me want to vomit.
anyway it's one of her best songs for me, I like it.
This song is obviously about being in a relationship that is too good to be true. Actually, she said that herself in her performance... =D

Doesn't the tune (the beginning intro) sound like Michael Jackson's 'Beat It'?
