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 looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound
Banana slugs do their yin/yang thing
A hermaphroditic little fling
I looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound
I looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound
Banana slugs do their yin/yang thing
A hermaphroditic little fling
I looked up saw a cloud floating by without a sound
Last night I woke up startled from another falling dream
It was embedded in my memory
From when my family went through trees
I read a lot of books about the future of the sun
And how my great-great-great-great-great grandfather
Might have been a monkeys son.
There’s a man right on the corner with a withered wrinkled face
He says that planet earth is not his home
Though he comes from outer space
And we're all full of questions that we would like to know
Just exactly where we came from, and exactly where we'll go
Though I know my limitations, and I know that I don’t know
But still I know the constellations, and I know the falling snow
And we're all full of questions that we would like to know
Just exactly where we came from, and exactly where we'll go
ok nevermind. i got confused because im used to listening to songs on youtube and banana slugs always showed up followed by cosmonaut. haha awkward....
