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.
To me, this song is about just being there for someone and really loving them. People aren't perfect and bad things happen. We may put up walls to protect ourselves, but with someone special you can get to each other like no one else can. This song portrays the comfort of really giving yourself to someone else and everything working so perfectly, being exactly what each other needs.
I think this song is about knowing someone from the inside out, knowing when they are hurt and knowing exactly how to break through any barriers they may have to fix it. You've been with this person through thick and thin and that's the way it will always be. You and this person will never be apart, you will always be part of an us.
Romy and Oliver have said this song is the only one they have done aimed at each other, as they have known each other since childhood and been through thick and thin together.
This song makes me melt. I do not understand how a single artist can have so many songs that I relate to so much. Yet so far, this one got me, and grabbed me tightly.
"All I have, I will give to you"
I gave her everything, my time, my love, my thoughts.
"In dark times when no one wants to
I will give you me"
Nobody else kept her for so long, except for me.
"And we'll be
Us"
We were so much alike, like a single soul in separate bodies.
"And there's no one else
That knows me
Like you do"
She knows all my greatness, all my faults. Every. Single. One of them.
"All I've done, you've done too"
Everything I caused her, good or bad, she did to me.
"The walls I
Hide behind
You walk through
You just walk through"
I always opened up to her, and I said every single thing I felt, about everything. Yet she never opened up to me...
"Well I know all the words
To take you apart"
I always had an option to take my anger out on her, to hurt her intentionally, yet no matter how badly I wanted to, I didn't, I couldn't... She could.
"You know I know you're hurt
I want to mend your heart"
And when I did hurt her, it was constantly by mistake, and I'd apologize, but she wouldn't forgive me. I'd offer a fresh start, but she'd wait 'til I begged her for one.
"You broke down
Why don't you tell me from the start"
And finally she broke down, from me breaking down and away from her. She kept it in, for it to all explode at once.
