I don't often pay attention to lyrics. Listening to a tune, it's the music that gets to me and that I analyse. Which is why, perhaps, I rarely listen to todays mainstream music because it's so blatantly untechnical. (Rather, I don't know why any non-musical people listen to it either. Lyrics like "She ******* hates me. Na na na na." Or "Help me, I was an abused kid." And it's all like that, irrelevant.) Anything on the radio unless it's classic rock is a violation of my rights.

For the record, I tried my hand at the literary side of music up until a few years ago. I realized that I had nothing really intelligent to say, only emotions to portray. There's no point in trying write catchy or deep lyrics just for the sake of having catchy or deep lyrics. Screw it, not my job.
