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.
Amputate
With your lips
And your mouth
With your hips
What'd you mean
You wouldn't lend me your hands
Sitting there on your hand grenade
What'd you mean
You wouldn't lend me some cash
They just dusted your village
Amputate
With your fists
And your mouth
With your hips
What'd you mean
You couldn't take the chance
Sitting there in your souped-up tank
What'd you mean
You wouldn't lend me the cash
You just pounded the pity
With pounds of the pity
I would have turned it around
Take your one-way ticket to hell
But the river is dry
So you better take to the sky
It's not a holiday
When you're crashing down
Screaming out of the sky
Amputate
With your lips
And your mouth
With your fists
Bite the bullet
Twist the tourniquet
