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.
I think "chocolate chip trip" is basically the child version of getting high. As a kid you probably craved any form of sugar or in this case a chocolate chip cookie. Though only accessing a cookie through good behavior from your parents it was a rarity. Once you did get your hands on that cookie you would bite into tasting the sweet chocolaty heaven giving you that child high.
To me it represents the ever quickening fear and confusion of the passing years. From being a child loving chocolate chip cookies to a broken adult who is almost never sober. All the while, a looming sense of impending doom leans over the whole song. In the end, everything slowly fades away, like the consciousness of somebody old and hardened falling asleep for the last time.
TLDR It represents the cycle of life. I would also like to note that it's 3:30 in the morning.
The only instrumental song among 7 on the CD version of the album. If they actually connect to the seven stages of life, this would be the one stage in which one is silently tripping, loosing connection. “Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.” This is the elder, slowly fading away.

Clearly it’s about Cookie Monsters obsession with chocolate chip cookies. For real though Danny Carey is a human octopus!!

Apparently the album is about childhood and growing up, and kids eat chocholate chip cookies. maybe?
