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.
MCGEOCH: "Siouxsie and I began to have one or two musical differences. One in particular was over a French hymn she wanted to record ('Il Est Ne Le Divin Enfant'), possibly because she had some French connection in the family. I said, "I really can't see this working, so if you don't mind I'm not gonna take part.' I didn't. That sowed the seeds a little." Source: The Authorised Biography 2002

Basically a medieval Christmas Carol. I'm glad she sowed those seeds.

Christ est Roi et Seigneur ! Pilate ne croit nullement que Jésus est un agitateur politique ; il s’inquiète seulement de savoir si ce personnage qu’il prend pour un illuminé prétend détenir un pouvoir quelconque. La réponse du Christ en dit long sur l’idée qu’il se fait de sa propre royauté. Il n’est pas roi, évidemment, à la manière des potentats qui font sentir leur puissance. S’il est roi, ce n’est que pour une seule raison : sauver son peuple. http://www.prier.presse.fr/prieres/christ-roi-de-l-univers-25-11-2012-2204_136.php...
