In today's "rock" scene (and many times in this very forum area), lyrics have become so mind-numbingly obvious and one-dimensional. OK, so you're angry about something bad happening, your best friend betrayed you, society is on your back, you're always looking for love in all the wrong places, etc. Do you really need to write a song directly about that?
Whatever happened to lyrics that were more subtle, inspired by bad/good experiences, but not describing them in painstaking detail? Whatever happened to lyrics that didn't have every line written in the first-person? Did we all stop listening to/learning from Bob Dylan at the same time?
In short, can someone please post up some interesting lyrics to soothe our inner savage beasts, not stir them to cathartic rampages (to borrow a thought from aiwass)?
... and that's all I have to say about that.
