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.
With a lot of Deadmau5 tunes, there are no lyics, so meaning it tough to discern.
As for this song, the begining to is slow, peaceful, and somber. I can't help but feel that he was writing this for Meowingtons. Of course, it progresses, and builds up to a huge eargasmic finish! Got to love that feel good beat.
This is one amazingly beautiful track, my absolute favourite out of every song I've ever listened to (:
It was originally only the first 3.5 minutes and was called "Then We Stood Still", before deadmau5 developed it into Strobe. So he didn't write the whole thing at once - hope that helps with your interpretations.
the song starts off kind of slow and then accelerates into party music, for one thing. There are three things I came up with: 1: It may mean about someone who has never really been appreciated(maybe Joel himself)and then become something big. 2: It could be kind of a lost in a nirvanic jungle(example peaceful music playing while eerie jungle music is in the background)and then he starts finding a way out and then escapes. 3: Joel could have just mad it for our entertainment and we shouldn't worry about it.
Strobe is a song for those who are secretly very depressed about any event in their life. The song starts with a very sad voice that says what am I going to do about my problems than progresses. It takes you into a ship taking off into a world where the problems that you once had do not exist any more. After that, the song reassures the listener with an on going montra, "now I am alive, now I am alive" this is just how I interpret the song. The song takes the listener from depressed to very much feeling alive and well, a human being again if you will. Furthermore, the song transcends anything heard in this world because it has been massaged to perfection by mr. DeadMau5 into a visual master piece that takes the listener from a listener to a viewer and begs for repeats listens in order to understand the complete nature of the song.
strobe sucks. go listen to real music like
faxing berlin (piano version) that has more meaning in it than this nonsense.
though due to the surging popularity of this song, im most likely to get rated down for the comment im about to post now.

I don't think this song was made for Meowingtons, it gives me more of a melancholic feeling, a memory, something he remembers a lot.

Strobe is one of those songs that hits the sweet spot for me between relax music and go out and dance your ass off music.
The song pulls you in as it builds. I'm immediately hooked and listening for more.
I'm still on the fence with Deadmau5. I need to listen to more of his stuff--some tracks I like, others I don't. Maybe they need another spin.
