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.
Song commentary by vocalist Jake Luhrs (via RockEdition.com):
"[...] That’s the day that four young men that attended high school in Manheim got into a car accident and all died. It pretty much tore the town to pieces. I mean, it was a really big deal. They were part of the football team at the high school. It really kind of turned Manheim upside down, just from the loss and everything. Our song “Boys of Fall” on the new album is actually a tribute to those boys."
That’s a true story?
"Yeah, it really happened in our hometown. It stirred up the whole place. We just wanted to really write a song to those kids, their families, and everyone else that was a part of that."
That is unreal! We lost 4 of our high school football players this fall in my home town of Grande Prairie AB, Canada. Same cause, car accident. They were hit by a drunk driver. GP Comp Warriors! One is still in critical condition in the hospital after a couple months since the accident.

This really sounds like something All Thar Remains would sing
