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 you know? Delta (the guy on the cover of Meteora who also did most of the Meteora art for the panels) was like all angry at the damn cheap glass panels he had to work with so he was all like with a hammer: "Just... Gotta... CRASH!" either that or it was some hobo mad at a beer bottle...
lol some hobo mad at a beer bottle. thats funny. dont ask me why. it just is. and there is no real meaning to this song, its just to sound cool. and it worked.

I love the way this one just flows into "Don't Stay" and gets everything started. Other that that it's pointless.
Though I don't think it was a beer bottle...didn't it say it was completely computer generated...?
i don't get this intro its completely meaningless other than the fact that it flows into Dont Stay
CD Burners don't make that sound if you hit them...
This is one of the many LP songs I can relate to...
zakrisk: Yeah, me too...this song is reeeally describing my feelings... ;p
hey is it just me... or do all the songs on this album flow into each other??
@fuck_love Nope, you are not crazy, they definitely do.
