Othello, O beware! Lyrics

i wish your door would have been barred.
i would have thought twice before i knocked.
i wish the boy who answered was....
not your "friend" you always "met" at the bar..
i wish i would have listened to
all those nightmares that you
told me to ignore so i forgot..
i wish i wasn't always thinking with my heart
in such deep morbid thought.

And when you came home gushing blood
i wish i were a vampire and sucked all of it up,
but i'm not the monster you thought i was.
know know no no i'm not some drooling
fiendish werewolf with claws...
i'm just a soul trapped up in some other dimension
screaming out while everyone pays
little to no attention to it.
i'm just a ghost that sometimes flickers in your room
the guardian of your impending doom.

Keep it true to the song

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.
