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.
The instrumental opens with an upbeat major key guitar melody. A heavier chord progression swallows the melody. A minor key piano melody swallows the chord progressions. Then a violin swallows everything, spiraling downward, except for a surprising ending. Even though this is an instrumental, it has a meaning. It also fits into the band's theme EP. Here's what the band posted on their website:
"The EP will feature eight songs, broken into four 2-song couplets. The EP is loosely based on Ecclesiastes, and tells the story of a young man's journey to true manhood. The tracks follow a young man who thinks he has everything in life, loses it all, despairs over the loss, tries to find meaning where it cannot be found, despairs that no meaning exists - and then finds the only true meaning in life.
Track 1 is an instrumental, called "Fade." It sets the mood for what follows, capturing a lighthearted melody that is all too soon subsumed by a darker reality."
