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.
It makes me think of death approaching, and the acceptance of that death. The ticking I hear in the backround - a clock. Your time is drawing closer. But you're letting it engulf you, you're going to let yourself be taken in by that current gently. You're going to be free.
As the music builds, you can hear Trent exhaling and inhaling throughout the last half of the track, which adds to my idea of the song. (And also it's kind of sexy. I mean, wait what, I didn't just say that :P)
The last thing you hear is a breath escaping.
So yeah, I like the mental image this song gives me. Very cool.
when listening to this song, i always envision myself in a medical gown and laying down in a hostipal, looking out a window. the sun is just comming up and everythings yellowish tan, its relaxing IMO.
My thoughts exactly. I remember coming home from surgery and falling asleep to this song. It has a real sleepy medicinal feel to it. It's timed beautifully with breathing. I guess the breathing reminded me of having an oxygen mask on.

Upon futher listening, I think the track is also about birth as well as death. At first I only had mental images of a peaceful death that an old woman may have accepted, but recently I've also thought about a baby in a uterus. It's kind of the same thing, almost. A similtaneous life and death message.
This song reminds me of Strength Through Music by Amanda Palmer. They sound so similar, and the way that there's ticking in the background of this makes me think of the way that Amanda goes "tick tick tick tick tick" in Strength Through Music.
