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.

This songs is excellent cant beleive no-one hasnt commented yet!!

anyways listening to song and looking at the lyrics it seems to me that its a song about 2 things: wanting to escape your surroundings and how much 1 person can have a effect on your life. Looking at the first verse i thinks its self explanatory in its message of escaping the sitaution, moving away starting afresh. Also, maybe i think that what the songs is trying to convey that maybe this peron who has laid a shadow is also the reason why they want to escape??

@azpoo I agree. Shadow references to darkness I believe. 2nd verse he talks about how they lived fast and carelessly, and I think something bad happened like she left him. But he can't let go of the past (her), so every time he thinks about her, it takes him to a dark place...did any of this make sense?
