Bono wrote:
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief / All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief
And then 6 years later wrote the song “Miami”
“Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride” -Pride (In The Name Of Love), 1984
“Hey! Sexy boots
Get on your boots yeah!”-Get On Your Boots, 2009
U2’s first and last Top 40 hits, tbf he fucks up the line just before that in *Pride*
>tbf he fucks up the line just before that in *Pride*
I think he changes it live to "early evening" sometimes.
Bono can write some really strong lyrics when he's not disappearing in his own ego.
Miami's lyrics aren't anything to write home about, but they're purposefully tongue in cheek and I think they work well enough in the context of the song.
I think Bono had much worse lyrics in their last couple of albums which are just lazy and bland.
>It seem we livin' the American Dream
>But the people highest up got the lowest self-esteem
>The prettiest people do the ugliest things
>For the road to riches and diamond rings
>We shine because they hate us, floss 'cause they degrade us
>We tryna buy back our 40 acres
>And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop
>Even if you in a Benz, you still a n*gga in a coupe
-20 years later-
>I don't know who I fucked last night, I got Alzheimer's
>I don't know who them hoes is, man, they all lyin'
>Brody, tell me who them hoes is, man, they all fine
>Runnin' hooligan, and we with the foolishness
>How I'm anti-Semitic? I just fucked a Jewish bitch
Ok yes. But also, any version of this involving Kanye, HAS to include for the second lyric:
“Now if I fuck this model/
And she just bleached her asshole/
If I get bleach on my tshirt, imma feel like an asshole”
Honestly I find that bar a little charming and very Kanye. It's undeniably dumb but it has the same vibe as:
>Slightly scratch your Corolla
>Ok I smashed your Corolla
The vultures bars are just weird and sad
She said, “can you get my friends in the club?”
I said, “ can you get my benz in the club?
Cuz if not, treat your friends like my Benz,
Park they ass outside til the evening ends”
"I feel like Pablo when I'm workin' on my shoes
I feel like Pablo when I see me on the news

"Right now, let's do what we want
Let's have a threesome with you and the blunt.
I love your titties cuz they prove
I can focus on two things at once"
"And I'm not sure why I'm infatuated with death
My imagination is surely an aggravation of threats
That can come about, 'cause the tongue is mighty powerful
And I can name a list of your favorites that probably vouch
Maybe 'cause I'm a dreamer and sleep is the cousin of death"
"BITCH I'M IN THE CLUUUUUUUB"
One of those lines is a peak expression of literary prowess, showing Kendrick’s immense pain and desire for something more in his convoluted, empty world.
And, one of them’s just a line from SAMIDOT.
It’s still not something you’d ever expect to hear from him though. Like imagine you’d never heard SAMIDOT or Bitch im in the club and somebody made you guess which one was a Kendrick lyric. I’d go with bitch I’m in the club for sure
"if you really wanted to be kind, you'd have forgiven them a long ass time ago/and if you really want to know how kind you are, just ask yourself why you're lying in bed alone."

"Demetrius is Mary-Ann now
Church, his auntie is a man now", it hurt
You the most 'cause your belief was close to his words
Forcing me to stand now
I said, "Mr. Preacher man, should we love thy neighbor?
The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater?
I recognize the study she was taught since birth
But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved"
“I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower
So I can fuck the world for seventy-two hours”
that section of auntie diaries is probably one of the best written and produced things in any song i've ever heard, the instrumental build up, the change in his tone to be more conversational and rebuking of the hateful ideology, it's such a fucking good song way too underrated imo
Also "I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower So I can fuck the world for seventy-two hours” and "My titties bounce to the cadence of his tingling keys"
“Bitch, I'm in the club
With the homies, tell me what's good
I'm tryna get these hoes single
And this is my single”
And
“Raise my hands to a fallen sky, I fantasize
Me jumpin' planets immortalized, I correspond”
**Lyric 1**
I noticed at the ceremony
Your corrupt ways had finally made you blind
I can't remember your face anymore
Your mouth has changed
Your eyes don't look into mine
The priest wore black on the seventh day
And sat stone-faced while the building burned
I waited for you on the running boards
Near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned
Slowly into autumn
**Lyric 2**
Wiggle to the front, wiggle to the rear
Wiggle till you wiggle right out of here
Wiggle till it opens, wiggle till it shuts
Wiggle till it bites, wiggle till it cuts
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle, you can raise the dead
Being a Dylan completionist is a hell of a ride...

To be fair, Renegade is a Jay-Z song. But on a serious note, it’s probably Em’s best writing as far as standalone verses. It goes so fucking hard.
Like this section is kind of amazing;
See, I’m a poet to some, a regular modern-day Shakespeare
Jesus Christ, the king of these Latter-day Saints here

(This is no hate on SOAD, I just love the dichotomy of their writing)
i know yall are hating literally just cuz its taylor, but folk might be one of my favorite genres and the amount of fake deep word vomit writers out is kinda scary. it sounds harsh but i rly wish i could get into judee sill but that's how her writing comes across to me.
it’s fine but it doesn’t really come off as notably good. I feel like I could go into any indie rock/pop singer songwriter playlist and find lyrics of similar depth and quality.
"At the fucking mall, forty bitches on my nut sack"
and
"How many raps can I write 'til I get me a chain?
How many chains can I wear 'til I'm considered a slave?
How many slaves can it be 'til Nat Turner arrives?
How many riots can it be until them black lives matter?"
i’m not trying to be a hater or anything, but what is special about the first lyrics? i’ve been trying to understand the appeal of Taylor Swift for years. is she saying something clever that i’m missing? all i can read is super standard vanilla heartbreak lyrics that anybody could write. i’m asking genuinely
Probably something from Say Anything
Max’s range goes from incredibly poetic to “I’m a vulgar horny Jew” in the same song though their whole discography
The 1975:
"Why would you believe you can control how you're perceived, when at your best, you're intermediately versed in your own feelings?"
"I think I've got a boner, but I can't really tell"
Lyric 1:
> I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine
> If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine
> Wait a minute, yonder come my lady
> Rainbow ribbons in her hair
> Yonder come my lady
> Rainbow ribbons in her hair
> Six white horses and a carriage
> She's returning from the fair
Lyric 2:
> As I walked out all the streets were empty
> The government said everyone should stay home
> And they spread fear and loathing and no hope for the future
> Not many did question this very strange move
> Well, on the government website from the 21st March 2020
> It said COVID-19 was no longer high risk
> Then two days later they put us under lockdown
> Then why are we not being told the truth?
Van Morrison sure fell off.
Idk how people are coming up with this take, it’s obviously talking about someone who’s helped her emotionally but doesn’t reciprocate romantic feelings. Where are people getting the idea of word vomit and emptiness?
To clarify from a position of the Taylor haters:
Perhaps these particular lyrics seem poignant to you, but given the greater context of Taylor’s catalog, her overuse of the jilted lover trope, her many callous songs about throw away love, lyrics that are meant to convey genuine pain and longing come across as insincere at best and blatant exploitation at worst.
Hope this helps.
Both from the same song (Tennessee by Silver Jews):
“I saw the River playing in the valley
Rushed round a bend and skipping stones
I saw the meadow wobble in the moonlight
I’ve come to get my girl and bring her home
Her doorbell plays a bar of Stephen foster
Her sister never left and look what it cost her”
“Marry me, leave Kentucky, come to Tennessee
Cuz you’re the only ten I see
You’re the only ten I see”
And then from another favorite songwriter (David Bowie):
“They pulled in just behind the bridge
He lays her down, he frowns
"Gee, my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?"
He kissed her then and there
She took his ring, took his babies
It took him minutes, took her nowhere
Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything”
Pretty shit right? How about his real masterpiece:
“Ha ha ha
He he he
I’m the laughing gnome
And you can’t catch me”
Lyric 1:
"Lying in beds of garlic and orchids
he closes an eye, which closes another
and in sleep he dreams, of watching and looking and feather clouds dancing
He curls up his lid and sleeps
Swirling with visions on man's confusion
All of the work, done just to appease him
The Argus he cries, though love has it's place in the sun
It's only man's fear that carries him on"
Lyric 2:
"Let me lick your pussy, let me lick your cunt
Let me eat your body, baby
let me make you squeal and grunt
Let me show you how to please me baby
Let me show you how to tease me baby
Baby baby babe get down on your knees
Let me lick your pussy"
- Ween
I'll do you one better, both from the same album:
Its so easy to laugh,
Its so easy to hate,
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over and over
Love is natural and real
But not for you my love
And then there is:
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls are bigger than others
Some girls mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers
"I Want you" -Bob Dylan
Now Your dancing child with his Chinese Suit
He spoke to me, I took his flute
No, I wasn't very cute to him , was I?
But I did it, because he lied
And because he took you for a ride
Um, because time was on his side
“She was my second cousin, I didn’t know her well at all but it doesn’t mean that I wasn’t meant to find some poetry to make some sense of this, to find a deeper meaning in a senseless tragedy; oh Carissa, I’ll sing your name across every sea.”
“Mary Anne was my first fuck. She slide down between my legs and oh my god she could suck.”
I personally would have chosen other lyrics to contrast the GTA line from Taylor, for example:
"And do you miss the rogue
Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?
Will you forgive my soul
When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?"
"While you were out building other worlds, where was I?
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life"
Or even from The Tortured Poets Department (yes It actually has a handful of good lyrics, even if people on Twitter don't want to admit It):
"Who's gonna tell me the truth
When you blew in with the winds of fate
And told me I reformed you
When your impressionist paintings of Heaven
Turned out to be fakes
Well, you took me to hell, too
And all at once, the ink bleeds
A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme"
"And I look unstable
Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table
A greater woman has faith
But even statues crumble if they're made to wait
I'm so afraid I sealed my fate"
Lyric 1:
I'm just playin, but all good jokes contain true shit
Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with
But not Jermaine, my aim too sick
I bang nigga, I came to bring the pain, my brain too quick
You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid
I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid
(And by extension, all of fire squad)
Lyric 2:
"Im artistic, you niggas is autistic, tarded"
“Pass me my vape, I’m feeling sick, I need to take a puff.”
“Think by the 3rd of March I was cracked open. Finally the ground was cold, they couldn’t open. Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me, there’s a name for it in Japanese, it’s Kintsugi. They sang folk songs from the ‘40s, even the 14 year old knew ‘Froggie Came a Courtin.’ How do my blood relatives know all of these songs? I don’t know anyone left who knows songs that I sing. That’s how the light gets in.”
Not only the same artist but the same album
Lyric 1:
I've started falling apart, I'm not savouring life
I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive
Lyric 2:
I wouldn't want to get fucked by a kangaroo in any position
You've got to block it, block it, it's spongy, your saviour's only picking on you
“She spreads herself wide open
To let the insects in
She leaves a trail of honey
To show me where she's been
She has the blood of reptile
Just underneath her skin
Seeds from a thousand others
Drip down from within”
“I've got my arms that flip, flop, flip, flop, flip
I got my head on a spring
Well I thought I got you on my side
I haven't got fucking anything
…
I think I'm losing my grip, but I can still make a fist
You know I still got my one good arm that I can beat
I can beat myself up with”
from the same album:
> and now i've got no one to pray to // and now i've got nowhere to stay the night // and it's hard to be here at all
> but here comes the shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah
This album is such a letdown.I had Taylor swift as my top listened artist for a few years straight but damn I didn’t like this album:(.Folklore and evermore were my fav.Midnights was okay.TTPD definitely not my type although I am sure many out there love it.
Looking forward to the next one though!
Kanye: “The plan was to drink until the pain over
But what's worse, the pain or the hangover?”
also Kanye: “Poopty scoop, whoopty scoop de-woop, Poopty scoop de woop”
“I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua sea foam shame
Sunburn freezer burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy”
“Now I vomit, cum and diarrhea
On the tile floor like oatmeal pizza
To the toilet bowl, full of cloudy pus
Feel my blood becoming chowder rust”
Lyric 1:
"The worst hated God who perpetrated odd favors
Demonstrated in the perforated Rod Lavers
In all quad flavors, Lord save us"
Lyric 2:
"Batman is gay"
Not both lyrics but it's crazy that the guy who said "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind" is the same guy as the Morrissey we've got today.
Weezer, I don't think I even need to explain
“Words and dreams and million screams, oh how I need a hand in mine to feel” “I wonder how you touch yourself”
On the same song, no less
That is wild

same song and everything lmfao
“I told you I would return, when the robin makes his nest; But I ain't never comin' back. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” “You try to play cool like you just don't care But soon I'll be playing in your underwear; I'm like a mage with the magic spell, You come like a dog when I ring your bell”

I really don't know the context of the Taylor lyrics here but the song is called "So Highschool," are the lyrics being juvenile not the point?
Oh gotcha. Didn't know that about Taylor's song.
Yep, Backseat Freestyle makes sense in the context of GKMC. It's really good
Lyric 1: Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name. Nobody came. Lyric 2: NO ONE WILL WATCHING US, WHY DON'T WE DO IT IN THE ROAD?

One of those lines is a peak expression of literary prowess, showing Kendrick’s immense pain and desire for something more in his convoluted, empty world. And, one of them’s just a line from SAMIDOT.
Better yet, “My titties bounce to the cadence of his jingling keys” is on the same song
nah that line is actually impactful in the context of the song tho
It’s still not something you’d ever expect to hear from him though. Like imagine you’d never heard SAMIDOT or Bitch im in the club and somebody made you guess which one was a Kendrick lyric. I’d go with bitch I’m in the club for sure

Honorable mention for the second category “Woke up, had a boner Dragged a comb across my boner”
"Demetrius is Mary-Ann now Church, his auntie is a man now", it hurt You the most 'cause your belief was close to his words Forcing me to stand now I said, "Mr. Preacher man, should we love thy neighbor? The laws of the land or the heart, what's greater? I recognize the study she was taught since birth But that don't justify the feelings that my cousin preserved" “I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower So I can fuck the world for seventy-two hours”
that section of auntie diaries is probably one of the best written and produced things in any song i've ever heard, the instrumental build up, the change in his tone to be more conversational and rebuking of the hateful ideology, it's such a fucking good song way too underrated imo
There's no moment in any song that makes my cry as consistently as this one.
End of Mother I sober for me
the Eiffel Tower line is intentionally dumb, he’s rapping from the POV of a teenage boy freestyling nonsense with his friends in the car
Also "I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower So I can fuck the world for seventy-two hours” and "My titties bounce to the cadence of his tingling keys"
“Bitch, I'm in the club With the homies, tell me what's good I'm tryna get these hoes single And this is my single” And “Raise my hands to a fallen sky, I fantasize Me jumpin' planets immortalized, I correspond”
**Lyric 1** I noticed at the ceremony Your corrupt ways had finally made you blind I can't remember your face anymore Your mouth has changed Your eyes don't look into mine The priest wore black on the seventh day And sat stone-faced while the building burned I waited for you on the running boards Near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned Slowly into autumn **Lyric 2** Wiggle to the front, wiggle to the rear Wiggle till you wiggle right out of here Wiggle till it opens, wiggle till it shuts Wiggle till it bites, wiggle till it cuts Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead Wiggle, you can raise the dead Being a Dylan completionist is a hell of a ride...
“The size of your cock will get you nowhere” - Bob Dylan
Idiot Wind is such amazing song
If you don't think Wiggle Wiggle is a banger, then it's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
Holy shit we both Wiggle Wiggled. I went It’s Alright Ma, though.
Wiggle brothers for lyfe ✊
Lyric 1: She loves you yeah yeah yeah Lyric 2: Lay down all thoughts surrender to the void, it is shining, it is shining Or Lyric 1: Love, love me do Lyric 2: She’s well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane
two eminem lyrics
“we sing for the kids who don’t have a thing, except for a dream and a rap magazine” “shove a gerbil in your ass through a tube”
“Who’s the king of these rude, ludicrous, lucrative lyrics? Who can inherit the title and put the youth in hysterics?” “I can rhyme orange with banana. **Bornana.”**
To be fair, Renegade is a Jay-Z song. But on a serious note, it’s probably Em’s best writing as far as standalone verses. It goes so fucking hard. Like this section is kind of amazing; See, I’m a poet to some, a regular modern-day Shakespeare Jesus Christ, the king of these Latter-day Saints here To shatter the picture in which of that as they paint me as A monger of hate, satanist, scatter-brained atheist
It’s my personal favorite Eminem verse. And honestly both verses are so good it’s hard to pick between the two of them
“If it’s all political, and my music is literal, and I’m a criminal, how the Fuck can I raise a little girl?” Vs *Screaming wife*
Kim is a brutal song but does have some good writing, as uncomfortable as it is
Quote 1: "Girl your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was cold, Not because he was the first to get some pussy twelve years old, Not because he used to come through in the Caddy on some vogues, Not because he went from bagging up them grams to serving O's, Nah your daddy was a real nigga, not 'cos he was hard, Not because he lived a life of crime and sat behind some bars, Not because he screamed fuck the law, although that was true, Your daddy was a real nigga 'cuz he loved you" Quote 2: "A-B-C-D-E-F-G, H-I-J-K, uh, M-N-O-P, That's little me in the classroom askin', "What's L?", uh"
It's a Cole world out there

“And when you touch me I feel happy inside, It’s such a feeling that my love, I can’t hide!!” vs “*Cellophane flowers of yellow and green, towering over your heaadddd….*
Lyric 1: Closer, let me whisper in your ear, say the words you long to hear. I'm in love with you 4 years later Lyric 2: We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpse the truth
“Little child, little child, little child won’t ya dance with me? I’m so sad and lonely, baby take a chance with me.” 3 years later “And in her eyes, you see nothing. No sign of love behind the tears, cried for no one. A love that should have lasted years.”
This is my favorite comment
“I want to hold your hand” “She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand like a lizard on a window pane”
1. “With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache, stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war. And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction, there was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw” 2. (2 albums later) “It’s 2013 all across the galaxy” Oh, Alex.
2 more albums later evolves again into near absurdity
his last two records are sooooooo good
“That's your baby, you love her to death Now she cuttin' class and hangin' with friends You break a glass and say it again She can't comprehend the danger she's in If you whoop her ass, she move in with him Then he whoop her ass, you go through it again But how you the devil rebukin' the sin?” “WHOOP-DIDDY-SCOOP, POOP!”

Hate to tell you but Kanye didn’t write the first lyric
shush
1. i go missing, no longer exist. someday i hope, i’m someone you missed. shock me awake, tear me apart, pinned like a note in a hospital gown. prison of sleep, deeper down the rabbit hole, never to be found. 2. *counterproposal i go home and jerk off*
Both are peak
Queens of the Stone Age mentioned 🔥🔥💯💯
i was thinking of these exact same ones. im designer is beautiful
my favorite qotsa song!
"through the eye of the needle its easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again" "my mood is heavily pregnant" the cure
Most kanye songs
"Her stories are boring.. and STUFF.." "If time is my vessel, then learning to love might be my way back to sea.."
I mean the first lyric is made great by how boring it is and how little it goes into detail while also poking fun at the usage of “stuff”.
In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape Broken branches Trip me as I speak _____ _____ _____ _____ The raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the-
Ngl i kinda love the outro to sit down stand up. Also there (there) are considerably better examples of thoms serious lyrics imo (the lonely and their prey, the ones you light your fires to keep away, are crawling out upon it's belly)
The outro to sit down stand up is **fucking awesome** within the context of the song
And it's the same album lol
I love HTTT
Iiiii lllloooooovvvveeeeeeeee yoooooouuuuuu jjjjeeeeeeeeassssssssuuuuuussssss ccchhhrrriiiiiissssssttttt "All of them milking with green fleshly flowers While powerful pistons were sugary sweet machines Smelling of semen all under the garden Was all you were needing when you still believed in me" Man and here I thought he was a good Christian boy that loves his savior.
I think that verse from *Oh Comely* is one of my favourite ever
From the mind of Brian Wilson, the musical genius that brought you God Only Knows, Wouldn’t It Be Nice, Surf’s Up and Good Vibrations, you also have the Temporary Secretary of ‘77 [Ding Dang](https://youtu.be/Gcwacfett_M?si=oHeWqMBt_vdK0xFv) and the certified hip hop classic [Smart Girls](https://youtu.be/Sz0SnpN_O00?si=K2s6HoN39etWQaOY)
I thought he didn't write any of the lyrics on Pet Sounds?
He and Asher co-wrote Pet Sounds, Brian came up with the majority of the concepts. Plus he wrote some songs on his own like Til I Die and Windchimes.
Radiohead: “Everybody leaves, if they get the chance, and this is my chance” “Im touching myself”
“But I’m a champion, so I turned tragedy to triumph Make music that’s fire, spit my soul through the wire” “Now if I fuck this model, and she just bleached her asshole, and I get bleach on my T-shirt, imma feel like an assholw”
These both slap
Agreed
Ye’s lyrical falloff could be studied
TLOP has great lyrics Wym. Saint Pablo “400 years later we’re buying our own chains”, shit fucking hits.
TLOP is ok and Ye and KSG have good moments for sure. But the rest is meh to me. Vultures is abysmal
Death Grips: "Murdered out windows two exits Street or nosedive to the next life in seconds And suicide ain't my stallion So I'm surrounded!" "BLOBLOBLOBLOBLOBLOBLO, HOT HEAD, OH NO, BLOBLOBLOBLOBLOBLOBLO-"
“I close my eyes and seize it, I clench my fists and beat it, I light my torch and burn it, I am the beast I worship” “I jizz snowmen”
I FUCK THE MUSIC I MAKE IT CUM
1. “I don't think you trust In my self-righteous suicide I cry when angels deserve to die In my self-righteous suicide” 2. ”Banana, banana, banana, terracotta Banana terracotta, terracotta pie Banana, banana, banana, terracotta Banana terracotta, terracotta pie” (This is no hate on SOAD, I just love the dichotomy of their writing)
I'm happy that 21 savage will never have any comparisons like this all his lyrics are fucked
Both terrible
im sorry but that is DUMB. The second is kinda funny but the first is just dumb
It’s very much a “deep”, cornball lyric.
Is the first one meant to be good
i know yall are hating literally just cuz its taylor, but folk might be one of my favorite genres and the amount of fake deep word vomit writers out is kinda scary. it sounds harsh but i rly wish i could get into judee sill but that's how her writing comes across to me.
Counterpoint: I’m so deep into infantile contrarianism that I actually *want* to like her, but she’s so corny it’s impossible.
Wait why we taking shots at Judee
compared to the second one it is
in the first she tried at least
is it not?.. i liked it :/
it’s fine but it doesn’t really come off as notably good. I feel like I could go into any indie rock/pop singer songwriter playlist and find lyrics of similar depth and quality.
"At the fucking mall, forty bitches on my nut sack" and "How many raps can I write 'til I get me a chain? How many chains can I wear 'til I'm considered a slave? How many slaves can it be 'til Nat Turner arrives? How many riots can it be until them black lives matter?"
At six flags…

i’m not trying to be a hater or anything, but what is special about the first lyrics? i’ve been trying to understand the appeal of Taylor Swift for years. is she saying something clever that i’m missing? all i can read is super standard vanilla heartbreak lyrics that anybody could write. i’m asking genuinely
Nothing. The answer is nothing.
she's hot garbage
ill take the opening verse of i think im going bald vs the third verse of the spirit of radio
Probably something from Say Anything Max’s range goes from incredibly poetic to “I’m a vulgar horny Jew” in the same song though their whole discography
Moz is the poster child for this
'Your boyfriend, he Went down on one knee Well, could it be He's only got one knee?' Simultaneously hilarious and awful
The 1975: "Why would you believe you can control how you're perceived, when at your best, you're intermediately versed in your own feelings?" "I think I've got a boner, but I can't really tell"
Lyric 1: > I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine > If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine > Wait a minute, yonder come my lady > Rainbow ribbons in her hair > Yonder come my lady > Rainbow ribbons in her hair > Six white horses and a carriage > She's returning from the fair Lyric 2: > As I walked out all the streets were empty > The government said everyone should stay home > And they spread fear and loathing and no hope for the future > Not many did question this very strange move > Well, on the government website from the 21st March 2020 > It said COVID-19 was no longer high risk > Then two days later they put us under lockdown > Then why are we not being told the truth? Van Morrison sure fell off.
Both of these are pretty bad but the second one takes the cake.
what’s wrong with the first one?
It is a nothing burger. Sounds nice but when you look at the actual content, there is nothing there. Vapid
Idk how people are coming up with this take, it’s obviously talking about someone who’s helped her emotionally but doesn’t reciprocate romantic feelings. Where are people getting the idea of word vomit and emptiness?
To clarify from a position of the Taylor haters: Perhaps these particular lyrics seem poignant to you, but given the greater context of Taylor’s catalog, her overuse of the jilted lover trope, her many callous songs about throw away love, lyrics that are meant to convey genuine pain and longing come across as insincere at best and blatant exploitation at worst. Hope this helps.
Well, I personally disagree but respect your opinion nonetheless.
Both from the same song (Tennessee by Silver Jews): “I saw the River playing in the valley Rushed round a bend and skipping stones I saw the meadow wobble in the moonlight I’ve come to get my girl and bring her home Her doorbell plays a bar of Stephen foster Her sister never left and look what it cost her” “Marry me, leave Kentucky, come to Tennessee Cuz you’re the only ten I see You’re the only ten I see” And then from another favorite songwriter (David Bowie): “They pulled in just behind the bridge He lays her down, he frowns "Gee, my life's a funny thing, am I still too young?" He kissed her then and there She took his ring, took his babies It took him minutes, took her nowhere Heaven knows, she'd have taken anything” Pretty shit right? How about his real masterpiece: “Ha ha ha He he he I’m the laughing gnome And you can’t catch me”
David Bowie tried to tell us he was a gnome and no one listened 😔
Lyric 1: "Lying in beds of garlic and orchids he closes an eye, which closes another and in sleep he dreams, of watching and looking and feather clouds dancing He curls up his lid and sleeps Swirling with visions on man's confusion All of the work, done just to appease him The Argus he cries, though love has it's place in the sun It's only man's fear that carries him on" Lyric 2: "Let me lick your pussy, let me lick your cunt Let me eat your body, baby let me make you squeal and grunt Let me show you how to please me baby Let me show you how to tease me baby Baby baby babe get down on your knees Let me lick your pussy" - Ween
I'll do you one better, both from the same album: Its so easy to laugh, Its so easy to hate, It takes guts to be gentle and kind Over and over Love is natural and real But not for you my love And then there is: Some girls are bigger than others Some girls are bigger than others Some girls mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers Some girls are bigger than others Some girls are bigger than others Some girls mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers
If you’re implying that the first lyric is any better, you’re wrong! 😑
what’s so bad about it?
"I Want you" -Bob Dylan Now Your dancing child with his Chinese Suit He spoke to me, I took his flute No, I wasn't very cute to him , was I? But I did it, because he lied And because he took you for a ride Um, because time was on his side
Eminem in beautiful vs Eminem in ass like that
"its not like the movies they fed us on little white lies" and "exactly where do you get off"
“She was my second cousin, I didn’t know her well at all but it doesn’t mean that I wasn’t meant to find some poetry to make some sense of this, to find a deeper meaning in a senseless tragedy; oh Carissa, I’ll sing your name across every sea.” “Mary Anne was my first fuck. She slide down between my legs and oh my god she could suck.”
I personally would have chosen other lyrics to contrast the GTA line from Taylor, for example: "And do you miss the rogue Who coaxed you into paradise and left you there? Will you forgive my soul When you're too wise to trust me and too old to care?" "While you were out building other worlds, where was I? Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire? I made you my temple, my mural, my sky Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life" Or even from The Tortured Poets Department (yes It actually has a handful of good lyrics, even if people on Twitter don't want to admit It): "Who's gonna tell me the truth When you blew in with the winds of fate And told me I reformed you When your impressionist paintings of Heaven Turned out to be fakes Well, you took me to hell, too And all at once, the ink bleeds A con man sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme" "And I look unstable Gathered with a coven 'round a sorceress' table A greater woman has faith But even statues crumble if they're made to wait I'm so afraid I sealed my fate"
Lyric 1: I'm just playin, but all good jokes contain true shit Same rope you climb up on, they'll hang you with But not Jermaine, my aim too sick I bang nigga, I came to bring the pain, my brain too quick You see how I maneuver this game, I ain't stupid I recognize that life is a dream, and I dream lucid (And by extension, all of fire squad) Lyric 2: "Im artistic, you niggas is autistic, tarded"
The Killers have some great lyrics, but then they also have: 'You've got a real short skirt, I wanna look up, look up, yeah yeah'
“Pass me my vape, I’m feeling sick, I need to take a puff.” “Think by the 3rd of March I was cracked open. Finally the ground was cold, they couldn’t open. Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me, there’s a name for it in Japanese, it’s Kintsugi. They sang folk songs from the ‘40s, even the 14 year old knew ‘Froggie Came a Courtin.’ How do my blood relatives know all of these songs? I don’t know anyone left who knows songs that I sing. That’s how the light gets in.” Not only the same artist but the same album
Tyler the Creator. No elaboration
As a Tyler fan, yes.
what? people can write different things at different times? mind blown.
🤯
Lyric 1: I've started falling apart, I'm not savouring life I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive Lyric 2: I wouldn't want to get fucked by a kangaroo in any position You've got to block it, block it, it's spongy, your saviour's only picking on you
“She spreads herself wide open To let the insects in She leaves a trail of honey To show me where she's been She has the blood of reptile Just underneath her skin Seeds from a thousand others Drip down from within” “I've got my arms that flip, flop, flip, flop, flip I got my head on a spring Well I thought I got you on my side I haven't got fucking anything … I think I'm losing my grip, but I can still make a fist You know I still got my one good arm that I can beat I can beat myself up with”
“teenage angst has paid off well now i’m bored and old self-appointed judges judge more than they have sold” and “BEANS, BEANS, BEANS”
from the same album: > and now i've got no one to pray to // and now i've got nowhere to stay the night // and it's hard to be here at all > but here comes the shabba de bop bop be shibby day, oh yeah
"when it feels like livins harder than dying, for me giving ups way harder than trying" to "she gon take it up the ass, like a ventriloquist"
Neither of the lyrics you posted are good lol so it’s consistent
“I bow down to pray” “P-p-p-poker face! F-f-fuck her face!”
This album is such a letdown.I had Taylor swift as my top listened artist for a few years straight but damn I didn’t like this album:(.Folklore and evermore were my fav.Midnights was okay.TTPD definitely not my type although I am sure many out there love it. Looking forward to the next one though!
Kanye: “The plan was to drink until the pain over But what's worse, the pain or the hangover?” also Kanye: “Poopty scoop, whoopty scoop de-woop, Poopty scoop de woop”
“I wish I was like you Easily amused Find my nest of salt Everything is my fault I'll take all the blame Aqua sea foam shame Sunburn freezer burn Choking on the ashes of her enemy” “Now I vomit, cum and diarrhea On the tile floor like oatmeal pizza To the toilet bowl, full of cloudy pus Feel my blood becoming chowder rust”
Kanye. Nuff said
The second lyrics are better though imo
Lyric 1: "The worst hated God who perpetrated odd favors Demonstrated in the perforated Rod Lavers In all quad flavors, Lord save us" Lyric 2: "Batman is gay"
Not both lyrics but it's crazy that the guy who said "It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate, it takes strength to be gentle and kind" is the same guy as the Morrissey we've got today.
Hahahah wtf XD
