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 at Musixmatch:
Desert rose
In a teenage dream
You were burnt alive
By the heat of the street
It made your head all hot
You couldn't answer the facts
You just don't know
Blow my head off
Kid guerilla
You're such a killa
My kid guerilla
You're such a killa
In a masquerade
You were mesmerized
By the beat of the whip
You swung your legs up high
You couldn't answer them back
You just don't know
Blow my head off
Kid guerilla
You're such a killa
My teenage honey
You're such a killa
Downtime
In a teenage dream
In masquerade
You don't know
In a fantasy
In your teenage dream
Go
Just a little kiss
To make it go away
You lack
Just a little push
To help her come awake
In a masquerade
You just don't know
Blow my head off
Kid guerilla
You're such a killa
My kid guerilla
Make me money
Over and over now
My Kid guerilla
You're such a killa
My teenage honey
Make me money
Over and over now
