...Seems alittle chiche to me. I mean, I love lyrics, love love love love lyrics, which is why I listen to Neutral Milk Hotel and Of Montreal.
I love it when people get obscure as well, like...Of Montreal has a song called "The past is a grotesque animal", and it has one of the greatest lines ever. It's about his wife leaving him, and how she tortured his soul, and he describe it like this:
"Somehow you've red rovered, the gestapo circling my heart,
And nothing can defeat you, no death no ugly word!
You've lived so brightly, you've altered everything,
I find myself searching for old selves, WHILE BEATING FORWARD THROUGH THE PLATEGLASS OF MATURING CELLS"
GOD I love that song.
But talking of bleeding angels is somewhat cheesy, describe an angel without actually saying angel. For example Jeff mangum calls for Blister.
"Blister please with those wings in your spine"
But on the other hand, somethings have to be straight to the point.
A subtle blend of the two works well.
Sorry, I babbled. I just love music and lyricism, which I also believe most "metal" lacks.
Dicky!
