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 think the song is about those really stupid girls that try so hard too look good with all that make up, chicks who you just cannot stand to even look at, as a matter of fact, you get so mad that you want to break some glass (them) because they are fake, maybe even drink their blood and squeeze them until they are inside out... that's how I take it I also think it says "If you can breathe when I am broke..." it just makes more sense...

This is a strange one. It's as if they're having a go at the ever shifting style of scene kids, and how kids are getting progressively more and more broken about stupid things, possibly even suggesting that a little time out in the sun will make them forget all about how "Mom wouldn't take me to the mall, she just doesn't understand."

That's the vibe I get from the pop-punk style vocal harmonies in the verse, and how it contrasts with the lyrical content. It's an awesome song; the guys said people would break things and get drunk to this album and I can see that happening.
