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.
to maybe get a discussion started, Icarus is a character of Greek mythology.
he and his father, Daedalus, were trapped on the island of Crete and were kept to be exiled by the king. (the king was mad because he helped the king's enemy escape a Labyrinth where he was imprisoned with a minotaur)
Daedalus was great at building stuff, so he built him and his son some wings made out of wax and feathers. he told his son not to fly near the sun because it would melt his wings. the son got too excited though and flew a bit too near the sun. his wax melted, and the feathers, with nothing to hold them together, fell. so along with them, Icarus fell into the sea.
now, in the beginning, (and I think throughout the track though in a much quieter volume) you can hear waves. that might denote Icarus' deathplace?
dunno about that though, because when I hear the wave sounds, it sounds more calming than violent (which I would relate to the idea of death)
I also picture of a deserted beach at sunrise. some gulls flying by, the tiniest breeze.
so I don't know how the title relates to the track itself, that was pretty much the only idea I had.
one last note though: no idea what 'satellite anthem' pertains to. maybe those annoying noises you get on the TV when you change the TV/AV thing? i definitely knew the word for that, totally blanked out just now.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This one's absolutely phenomenal.
