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.

truth serum... who are you refering to when you say "he"? If you did some more research you would find that this is that this song is about Trey wanting to go out with a girl when he was 16. His idea of perfect date was dinner and a movie.. hence the song name :)

actually this song is about a time he was walking on a trail near his home .. he heard a clamor to the right. . investigated to find a brigade of racoons ransacking a campsite .. having his dog whistle he peskered the rascals away .. thus saving a hungarian blonde who was camping at this intrusion .. trey, in a confident voice asked the beauty, "let's go out to dinner and see a movie", she accepted and he in turn wrote a song devoted to her

(not really, but thats a songmeaning to me because a song is whatever you make it out to be)

Sarantigo has the right idea. Its cool to know what these songs are about but I really wish people would write there own analysis of the song sometimes, even if they're unsure of its validity.

Everybody has a different outlook and understanding of things.

The singer is suggesting to an unspecified party that the two of them should travel to an establishment that serves food and eat there, after which they should indulge in a few hours of entertainment at the local cinema. These activities are presumed to occur within the context of a date.
