Trust & transparency
Editorial policy
We distinguish sourced facts, artist-confirmed statements and our own interpretation, and we show uncertainty when the evidence does not support a single answer.
Editorial standards
- Published guides include a substantive interpretation and checked supporting sources.
- Direct artist statements are distinguished from editorial interpretation.
- Language editions are written to be useful for their readers, not as automatic word-for-word translations.
- Full copyrighted lyrics are not republished.
- When evidence is uncertain or supports more than one reading, the guide says so clearly.
