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.
What is the deal with the end of this song?! Is Shannon trying to scare the holy hell out of everyone?! haha. But seriously, I saw Shannon play the song in concert and it was pretty crazy. I'm interested in the painkiller theory and if there's any association.
L490 is printed on a blue pill called Naproxen. A painkiller.
I'd be curious to know if this song had any association to the drug.
With this in mind, it had an interesting connotation.
Naproxen is pretty benign as a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory (NSAID). It's like motrin in that it reduces inflammation, so it's not strong acting on your central nervous system like say morphine or anesthesia. It's not for everyone; because it's made with sodium I don't recommend it to my patients w/high blood pressure. I usually see it prescribed to people with sports or work related muscular injuries that didn't respond to motrin and still have soft tissue inflammation.

I'm a fan of 30STM and I'll say the song is pretty cool. Buddhism and Tibetan Monks are for those seeking the softer, more universally connected side of religion. On a musical track, out of context, one might think the chanting is a demon choir. Walking a mountain in Nepal and hearing the same chanting, you'd probably tingle and feel more alive. And that's what Naproxen does. Alleviates the inflammation so your nerves feel less cramped and can do things like make you tingle or move more freely. I climbed Mount Fuji in Japan and no s*** there were monks at the top of the volcano. It was pretty high up. I needed canned oxygen just to make it to the top, otherwise my muscles wouldn't move very much. It was the difference between baby steps and big boulder climbs. You can ask them to pray for a certain person or situation. To think of these monks out there, praying for the world, alleviating the world's oppression (inflammation) with just the power of mind (central nervous system). Get it?
If you ever get the chance to check out something like that, to climb a mountain and hang with monks, do it. It's cooler than s***.
hmm.....this scared me at first, hypnotized me after, and then reminded me of 2012 (with all the Buddhist monks chanting in the end of the song, and the Buddhist monk in the trailer :D )
^.^ really epic piece
The beginning reminds me of when a disaster happens or bomb strike is about to go down - sirens/tones play to warn you and a creepy silence occurs.
L490 "a painkiller" maybe suggesting your pain will be over because you are dead.
weird chanting at the end - Satan - Antichrist.
30STM have long been associated with Freemasons/Antichrist. Their symbol is of the "all seeing eye" just the outline of a pyramid with a line across it. fits on the back of your dollar bill pretty well, where the top of the pyramid floats.
The CD is called "This is War" aka war of Antichrist VS Christ - the epic battle that is suppose to happen within our life times. Listen to the whole CD with this in mind - from the point of view of those who support the Antichrist. Biblical/Dark/Satan References fill this entire CD. He also worked with Kanye West - another well know Freemason.
I Don't The Name Of The Video, But I Saw An Interview On Youtube Of Jared And Shannon Being Interviewed While On Tour
For "This Is War" And They Were Asked "What Does The C.D. Song Like?" And I Kid You Not, Jared Answered With This...
"Think Of It As God And The Devil Having Sex"
Every War Has At Least Two Sides......
In the beginning, there's one helicopter coming over a mountain, and there's an army marching toward it from the front thinking "this battle is gonna be easy", they snicker about it and cheer and whoop.
then, not only one, but a BUNCH of helicopter come over the mountain and totally rape the soldiers.
I'm not talking about just a couple, I mean a WHOLE FUCKIN BUNCH!
What I kinda have in mind with this song is a story - the album - having a tragic ending. Not sure why.
In my view, the album is sorta about how there isn't really any "good" nor "evil", just us living our lives. Somehow it makes me think of the individualised universe theory, where we all sorta live in our own universes, with our own perspectives on everything, and that there really isn't a deffinate wrong or right.
First I gotta say the lyrics are beautiful :) (Poucos entenderão a piada)
When I first heard this song I was too scared to hear until the end, but then I heard it all.
The first part sounds like something very bad happened and its they are searching for some sort of signal, connection.
Then they go out and see everything destroyed, a real catastrophe. And they walk around some more just to see that there is nothing left.
And then the monks just to scare us.
There's an interpretation going around in the Echelon community about the connection to the painkiller (I've only read it on a Russian page with the help of Google translate and that is literally all I've seen of it, so I don't know how legit this is)
Apparently, Jared was suffering under major back pains and other health issues and the medication he used was L490. So, the song is sort of a lullaby from Shannon to Jared (presumably written to either ease his pain or maybe what he was feeling seeing his brother suffering translated into music?).
Reasons why I think this theory may not be completely false:
Jared is a perfectionist, idealist etc so everything on the albums must sound good, fit (City of Angels for example was written before TIW was released, yet it didn't make the album), be personal etc - they have to have a reason to be there. Although L490 is definitely experimental and sounds fine, it doesn't really fit the overall sound of the album (all of the other tracks sound like war songs, very powerful, very present; L490 is calm and actually does kinda sound like a lullaby). Not only is it on the album, during TIW tour, the played it very often live (yeah maybe to give Jared time to run to the other side for The Kill, but still - it wouldn't have 'just been there'). Also, I think it was the VyRT commentary about Artifact and then there's L490 playing when they're talking about Shannon and Jared said something like 'what's the song?', someone replied 'L490' and Jared goes something like 'oh of course, how could I forget that'. (there have been more mentions to the track, but this is the only one I can pinpoint).
So, my guess is that the song is personal and intimate for the two of them, which vouches for the theory that it is somehow connected to the medication and his pains.
my two cents. hopefully someone will ask them that in an interview and i can find out whether this was close.

Naproxen is the prescription form of Aleve (OTC), I have been using Naproxen for 8 years now and it never "aleves" my pain...hehe

The monks chanting at the end sound kind of evil, like they're tainting the sad but happy freedom expressed in the middle
