Childlike Lyrics

The less we stare at different life
I play the role I smile bright
Consume the perfect pesticide
And laugh it feels so childlike
Surprised I even care at all
Recall the days of wonderful
Delight of all the things we might be

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.

Generally with age people seem to preserve the "bad" side of a child in themselves - being completely naive towards things that may hurt them badly, they keep on consuming "the perfect pesticide" and pretend they are happy with it. While the "good" side of a child - curiosity, energy, thurst for knowledge - seems to die off in many people way too quickly, all that remains for them is recalling "the days of wonderful delight of all the things we might be"
