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.
What do you want? I'm not your slave
I won't piss my soul away
Thank you all I'm very touched
But I don't need your fucking praise
I, I don't belong up here
What do I have to do to be free?
I don't belong up here
What do I have to do?
This stupid scene I fell into
Makes me sick, but it's okay
Do you think I really care
What you fucking think of me?
I, I don't belong up here
What do I have to do to be free?
I don't belong up here
What do I have to do?
Take me out of this place
Before I will die
I'm trapped in this space
I'm bound with my pride
I don't really care what you say
I walk away
I walk away
I walk away
I, I don't belong up here
What do I have to do to be free?
I don't belong up here
What do I have to do?
Take me out of this place
Before I will die
I'm trapped in this space
I'm bound with my pride
I don't really care
What you say or what you do
I don't really care what you say
I walk away
I walk away
I walk away
