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.

My interpretation of the song is that the writer feels like he doesn't fit in with society, and goes through day after day believing--that despite what other people say about him--he's not a normal person; and he can't care about anything or anyone most of the time, because he's too numb to care at all. He most likely struggles with depression, or maybe a tragic incident in his life has shook his reality--such as a car accident or a war. For whatever reason, he just doesn't feel like he fits in anywhere, and will continue life feeling alone until he finds a greater meaning or purpose for his living.

You got all that from those few lyrics? Cool. I 'read" the song differently. I believe it's about a writer who THINKS he doesn't fit in, but how s/he views himself (for arguments sake) is not how others view him. His perception of self is skewed, and almost always negative. UGH

Those short lyrics punched me and that's why i came here

But i have a different interpretation than yours

I think he feels the kind of humiliation and shame you have when you realize how poor your choices and decisions were in the past

he's struggling with doubts and shame about himself and then realize that things are repeating (sometimes i feel like i haven't learned anything) and it's his own fault because he didn't work on his bad behavoiur/thoughts
