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.

Her vocals in this song are so haunting, it literally freaks me out to listen to this song, but it's beautiful nonetheless. The lyrics clearly hint at a person who has lost their loved one and their home, preoccupied with death and thoughts of their loved one. It's terribly sad. They don't want to be alone when they're dead and buried, even wishing that the person they love could be buried with them, giving up their own life. The situation can be applied to a lot of tragic historical events, such as the Holocaust or, especially, Hiroshima, but it could also fit into more prosaic situations, such everything in your life changing and becoming unrecognizable.
