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.

To me this is more like something that we have to visually imagine. I tipically see a man with mickey mouse hears on a podium with the stilized marilyn manson logo "nazi-dead-head-mickey-mouse". There is an old "camera-sound" in backgroud that would make me think about a camera displaying imagery of nazi propaganta, movies, "degenerate" arts showing, and stuff like that. This is the introduction of the golden age of grotesque so all the elements of the album must be in a way find into it to introduce us into it. I really like that track because it is powerfull, scary and grotesque at the same time so really perfect. Maybe you can find more information about this on nachtkabarett.com
