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.

At first i thought it was about a simple reunion of two friends from a distant past, which eventually grows into something deeper
(did i see you, see me, in a new light?)

This has become my favorite music from this album..
The caribbean instrument is just amazing!
I wish I knew more music with this particular instrument, can somebody direct to more music like this?
Thanks!
What a great track. At first I didn't like it very much because the timing was wonky, but not I love it. I love the dark minimal techno bit at the end that goes into Sunset so beautifully.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I've not quite figured out whether this song is about considering the option of getting back together?
"Reunion, reunion Never not ever, never not ever again"
Never not ever. Never not is double negative equals positive?
The whole song breathes silent hope to me.

It's called a steel drum.

I know, I love the sound of the steel drum too. I like very much this one from The Knife, it has this instrument in it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKhjaGRhIYU

This live video set it off for me though: http://youtu.be/yw4GiH37EM0
