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.
Chorus: I believe, I believe there's a God above
That he keeps me in his love
Jesus died and shed his blood
On the cross for me in love
Sinner sinner give up now
The life your leading to (sic?) sin and doubt
Better find out what God's about
Be cleansed within your time
chorus
Scriptures say there is no way
To enter heaven on the judgement day
Accept salvation from him today
Fall on your knees and pray
chorus
Look he's coming to take us home
We've fought the battle oft times alone
Who've (sic?) forgiven our sins atoned
Will actually (sic?) know the truth
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
