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.

Pwahahaha

This is an amazing song, "nothing should end where you start" Maybe its about a girl who had a hard and difficult life, i think she was raped and then went to prostitution and drugs... but there's always someone who falls in love of someone who has lots of problems like that, maybe he helped her all the time but she leave him, maybe she got better with him but her own past was burning up on her and got scared from hers past...then she just start to do what she used to do...perhaps...maybe im wrong and its not about that, and its just a love song related with vaccine and tricks, the girl has troubles in her life and he wants to help her, and make her feel better and safe with him... I love this part...its soo lovely and make me feel confident about "love" Who now will shift your shoelace? I love my boyfriend, but hes not like that xD Anyway, merry christmas for all =)

"All except that drink of yours." = Should be "All except that trick of yours." "I tried to write, but it's wrong." = Should be "I try and do right but it's wrong." "And now shift your shoelace" = Should be "Who now will shift your shoelace?"
