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 definitely think they DON'T get married. The whole song sounds so morose and hopeless and depressing. I think the first line either means that someone happened to the girl (she left him, she's died) and she physically cannot put her head on his chest, which is why he says "I wish you COULD." OR, maybe the girl didn't think she loved him enough and he just wishes that her hearing his heart that beats only for her would suffice. Even the way he sings "I still dream of December..." doesn't seem simply reminiscent, but like he's haunted by it. The fact that he never does finish "And the two shall become.." makes it so obvious to me that it ended badly and unfinished.

Beautiful song though. It's funny how some of the saddest songs are the prettiest.

I think that they do get married. In fact, I think he's singing this to his new wife as they're dancing "with rings on their fingers" on their wedding day--in December. His love for her is so great, it can't be put into words, hence the "i wish you could..." line.

Since it is the first day of their marriage, the rest of their lives together are unwritten, "unfinished." The two shall become "one," obviously, but they will also become so much more as they live out their days together as a married couple.

As to the Christian thing (deathislogical and jazzyboops), it's pretty obvious that Chris' lyrics are deeply inspired by his Christian faith. I like them, even though I'm not really religious, but you're not getting it if you think that Christians are just applying Christian meanings to Mineral's songs.
