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.
lol... its amazing what lengths what depths of denial some people will sink to so their interpretations don't affect their beliefs...
WAKE UP IDIOTS! Tool are into the OCCULT, which is NOT anything to do with New Age because all that shit is is watered down occultism for the masses... Occultism isnt Satanic either, that's merely Christian bullshit getting in the way of the truth. It's the highest truth that yet exists, equivalent to the Yoga of the East... yet isn't accepted by the mainstream because they're too closeminded to accept it, for them it isn't 'scientific' as if anything like this could be based on scientific principles.
Hmm. Let's look at a few things shall we? The Grudge 'Saturn comes back around' ASTROLOGY, 'leaden grudges into gold' ALCHEMY... Reflection? 'The Moon, my confidante' ASTROLOGY... Third Eye? CHAKRAS.
I could go on but seriously if this isnt enough to prove to you guys that Tool are talking on a completely different wavelength to what you guys are tuned into then nothing will convince you... TOOL WANT YOU TO REALISE THESE THINGS AND OPEN YOUR MIND TO WHAT IS OUT THERE. After all, TOOL the name was originally conceived as TOOL for spiritual progress...
This song ISNT about drug use btw, its possible to have psychadelic experiences WITHOUT drugs you know...
TOOL ARE OCCULTISTS, that is why they are so good!
Possibly, but more specifically it translates to "rotating fields of light."
Merkaba is referring to a deep form of meditation that facilitates deep spiritual growth. For those who didn't catch this in the Parabola video, now you know a little more about the superb ending.
