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.
Scratch the pitch - cancel the attempt or persuasion.
I think this song is message about stop trying to sell something false or misleading or that whomever. or whatever you are trying to sell isn't worth buying and people are aware.
It is hard to decipher Guano Apes, the band's lyricists was born in Germany and raised by a Croatian mother, she isn't a native English speaker, and even native speakers have trouble with words and phrases with multiple meanings.
The lines fade away - people aren't in line to get that you are giving
The color of your lips - I think this is a reference to talking till your blue in the face, when you keep repeating yourself when no one is listening.
looking for is the one without a soul - someone who who lacks basic the basic human morals. that would buy what you are selling.
The references to "Make up" is about what the person is make from, not cosmetics.
"If Pain and mania show us what we are, I draw your skin and push you way to far" this might be a reference to placing someone under duress to get the truth out of them (torture?)
