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.

Cover art for Waiting for the Sun [Album Version] lyrics by Jayhawks, The

by northernwater

Okay, heres my summary of what this song seems to be about:

      Your waiting for the best part of life, you decide that it might be best to do things yourself and stay away from relationships. You aren't totally aware of the best ways to interact with people, so you end up not fixing problem with other people. You are not aware enough of other people. At the same time, other people aren't reaching out to you either. Relationship still mean a lot to you, though. You move on in life, relying a lot on other people. You remain optimistic, and start to associate with people more, but you are still a little confused.
