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 from Musixmatch:
At first, they give you a big break
And then they fill it up with hate
At first, you want it
You tell her to get some
Her tongue will love it
And then you need it
On the first glance
You are surrounded
By the fourth flank
They carve you up
With a second chance
They cut you down
Tapermouth
With all your love
Hunt them down
Destroy their homes
Make them pay
Take all their love
Hunt them down
Take all their hope
At first, they give you a big brain
And then they tell you you're insane yeah
At first you want it
You're willing to steal it
The world it loves you
And then you meet it
In a circle chant
You are surrounded
By the fourth flank
They prop you up
With a second chance
They cut you down
Tapermouth
Take all their love
Hunt them down
Destroy their homes
Make them pay
With all their love
Hunt them down
Take all their hope
Left over for dead
She yanked his chain right off his neck
Left over for dead
She yanked his chain right off of what was left
