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.

Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out. Stay in the rhythm. Stay in the rhythm. What should I do? Stay in the rhythm. Stay in the rhythm.

Everything's inside. Two Four Two Out out!

(This is a slightly loose translation, using the English equivalents phrases that they often sing in live and remix versions. So, for example, "breathe in" instead of "inhale", "stay in the rhythm" instead of "remain in rhythm", etc., presumably because it flows better when sung / sounds cooler when shouted that way. Also, the "due quatro due" part is in Latin, not German, because they want you to know that they're classically educated cyberdrones.)
