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.

Fan conjours up images of thousands of screaming girls at a boy band concert. Please never use the word fan in conjunction with punk music.

this song's about a friend that knew you better than anyone else. while other people were in different seats in the bus of life, this friend sat by you all the time. he knew what would hurt you the most, your weak spot, and when you fight, he uses that knowledge against you. you can't understand why he's fighting with you, maybe becuz he's jealous? so you tell him to say your friendship's over just so it can be heard and then there'll be no more fighting. you want to stop the bus and get off.

I think this song is about a girl that he used to go out with or something and he still has feelings for her but they broke up but when he is finally getting over her and getting with other chicks he see's her and she starts flirting or something and it brings all those feelings back and messed up his other relationships. When he says stop the bus i think he just means like I wanna get off of you....get over you and lets be done
