Consequences Of Greedy Parsing
Your parser was supposed to read "#ALBUM" and "COVER" as two separate tokens, but nope—greedy parsing grabbed the whole thing in one go and now you're trending for something... completely different. The dog's side-eye says it all: "Yeah, I parsed that wrong too. That's why we're both here, buddy." Fun fact: Greedy parsing in regex and compilers matches the longest possible string, which is great until it grabs more than you bargained for. Like when .* decides to eat your entire HTML document instead of stopping at the first tag. Classic.
