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.
I believe this is the track on the CD that's called 'Disindependence.' Since Disindependence seems to be the track formerly known as Tooth Ferry, it only makes since that this is actually Well Nigh Dusk. This is probably more obvious with the vinyl release because of the two sides, but I don't have that.
Also these lyrics were included in the CD insert under the title Well Nigh Dusk, but I don't really hear them say any of them during the song, or any song for that matter. I also 'translated' them from the strange way Trumans Water had of writing their lyrics down on this first album.
"Got no allegiance to Heather
got no allegiance to Brett
got no allegiance to Calvin
got no (legion ought yet?)
got no allegiance to punk rock
got no allegiance to you"
Totally a reference to Beat Happening, but I don't hear them saying the lyrics during all the yells of the song.
