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.
This is not instrumental. Does anyone know what she is singing? Icelandic maybe. When I google the lyrics from Solstice appears for some reason. Maybe it is the same lyrics in Icelandic?
I'm late but... Its not instrumental but neither is Icelandic they're just meaningless words to give that mysterious feeling. From the biophilia manual:
"The wordless singing reflects the way the song was composed : the gibberish heard here is Björk’s compositional language in its raw form –strings of vowels and consonants which she uses to create melodies before she has lyrics.
The song is in free-time – it lacks a regular pulse and beats– and these musical qualities evoke the idea of timelessness and the vastness of space"

This song is instrumental, the lyrics aren't real words, just sounds used to evoke the mood. Dark Matter is currently indescribable as we know so little about it, so the vocals are a way to express the difficulty in describing the unknown.
