Given Lyrics

i want to stop thinking of love, dreaming of love, defining love.
i want to feel the earth below me...ravish me.
given: the waterfall, the illuminating gas.
the bachelors: suitors at my call.
i used to dream of love as a machine;
myself as the motor, erotic energy.
i'm ready to experience this love, to look beyond this glass, leave concept for reality.
i want to feel the water immerse me...consuming me.
i want to leave behind this lauded virginity, to experience love, to be taken by love.
i want to feel the sunlight upon me...overpower me.
given: the waterfall, the illuminating gas.
the cinematic blossoming: halo of the bride.
i used to diagram love as a machine;
myself as the motor, erotic energy.

Keep it true to the song

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.
