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.
It's probably an introduction to the next song "Noldor (dead Winter Reigns)" (http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/129982/).
"We brought hope" (Without the Noldors, the Sindars would probably not resists to Morgoth)
"but also lies, and treachery" (It concerns the doom of Mandos. The Noldors didn't say a word about this doom nor that they are banish from Valinor)
Specifically, this is likely the viewpoint of Fingolfin or someone in his company that was left behind by Feanor in the stolen Teleri ships (Feanor burned the ships rather than send anyone back for Fingolfin and the rest of his company). Instead, Fingolfin and a part of his company dared the grinding ice of the Helcaraxe (similar to the Bearing Strait) to come back to Middle-Earth.
