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.
Here are the verified lyrics for Assassins from Musixmatch:
My sister missing
Maladjusted since she was busted
Driving in a Datsun
Dressing like an assassin
The ground it's
It's stopping
The ground it's
It's hopping
Creeping in your spine
It's looping in your mind
You're going to lose it
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Just an image
She can't touch you
She just too lippy she does seem like I can do without
Put your money
On the table
Just an image
She can't touch you
My lady
She's getting lippy
She's looking sexy
She's just an image
She can't touch you
My ladies lippy
Looking sexy
The ground it's
It's hopping
The ground it's
It's dropping
Your freedom
It's hopping
It's stopping
