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.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
He misses her. Plain and simple. A very simple song, but incredibly beautiful.
Isn't this off DSOTM though, I know the Cure has a cover from PF, but I'm too tired to remember which song ATM
This song was never performed by Pink Floyd (There is a song 'Breathe' on Dark Side of The Moon"..This is a Cure B-Side
It's a b-side on the Just Like Heaven 12" single (along with Chain of Flowers). I bought it in 1987 and still have it.
ots the b-side to catch actually, i got it on record a few months ago.
ive always liked to think this songs is about the loss of innocense, and the subject is covered allot by robert smith in some of his lyrics
