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.
Don’t tell your mother that we’re leavin’ her
Don’t tell your father we may never return
And kiss your little sister while she sleeps
Don’t think I’ll tell mine she’ll never let us leave
I’ll tell those fuckers that I work for to go to hell
All the people thought they knew me so very well
Josephine
I don’t love her anymore…

We’ll leave our things behind for friends and family
We’ll roam like gypsies along shores of silent seas
There’ll be no reason to be frightened or sad
There’ll be no wishin’ for things we never had
You’ll tell those fuckers that you work for to go to hell
All the people you thought you knew so very well
And Josephine
I don’t love her anymore
Don’t tell your mother that we’re leavin’ her
Don’t tell your father we may never return
And kiss your little sister while she sleeps
Don’t think I’ll tell mine she’ll never let us leave
I’ll tell those fuckers that I work for to go to hell
