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.

Kind of brutal, but I like to think the song is about suicide. Obscurely; poetically. “A kiss of the wind” is an abstract gun shot to the head that starts the song, then "life” moves on. Behind the windows of his eyes, is the winter of our discontent, and if you understand the Shakespearean source, deep depression 'glorified' by being over, done. The 'reason' for it can only be found in his eyes/mind, but life moves on. Both the world moving on AND his life moving on to its final resolution. The solo being an abstract glorious unique interpretation of one's life, beginning to end. Aurally, one of the best metal songs ever made. I'm taking this 'flier' here on the lyrics.
