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.
Look Forward
Look forward
All you highway livers
It’s time to leave the landlord
Swinging from the highest tree
We don’t live, we flow
To every corner of the earth
Fuck your fences, fuck your borders
This tribe is taking back the map.
I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down
With the days of young
Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun
Look forward
Look forward
All you displaced boys and girls
We travel where we please
No mark for the stationary
Every skyline beats in my chest
Somewhere between love and sadness
Desire for something new
Leads us to everywhere.
After all that we’ve been through
VIVA THE WAYFARER YOUTH!
Just give us something new
VIVA THE WAYFARER YOUTH!
I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down
With the days of young
Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun
N.
Say N. O.
N. O. M.
Say N. O. M. A. D. S.
NOMADS!
Say N. O.
N. O. M.
Say N. O. M. A. D. S.
NOMADS!
I’m Battened Down
With the days of young
We’ll make home in the mountains with the ones we love
I’m battened down
With the days of young
Until the day I die
I’ll always curse the sun
WE DON’T JUST LIVE
My Heart is where the sea lights touch the stars
WE DON’T JUST LIVE
With fond eyes we look to the horizon
WE DON’T JUST LIVE
My heart is where the sea lights touch the stars
WE DON’T JUST LIVE
With fond eyes we look to the horizon.
