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.

If anyone has any idea what that line in the second to last verse is, do speak up. The only very remotely reasonable thing I could come up with was "pissin' in his pores" but that makes significantly less sense than the rest of the song, so I'm guessing it's wrong.

I'm probably wrong, too (and a little very late), but on listening to this song for the fiftieth time, I keep hearing "Pissen in den Pool", which is German for "They piss in the pool" (I'm German, so maybe I just try to hear something that sounds familiar). But on the other hand, I also keep hearing "Amanda is a Schlampe (= Slut)" instead of scalape, so I'm probably on the wrong track altogether. What's a scalape anyway? Can anyone tell me, please? I can't seem to find a translation anywhere.
