| System of a Down – Lonely Day Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Here, I find myself presented with two alternative explanations to this song. A) it is honest B) it is subversive If a) is true, then this song is about the truly most loneliestest of days ever to exist. It is straight forward to a fault, and there is no explanation given for the banality of either the lyrics or the music. It is just that bad. If b) is true, then this song is a satire (not a parody) of EMO music. The banality, under this explaination, is intentional in both the music and the lyrics. It is as if they are saying that EMO is so easy to do, anyone can do it. There is no actual feeling involved. No honest experience that needs venting. Just recycled angst opened well past its sell by date. Please note how the lyrics never actually refer to ANYTHING AT ALL. Rather they are the epitome of the recycled emo song. So lonely, and I want to kill myself, yadda yadda yadda. No reason really, just felt like it at the time. A) forces me to lose all respect for the band, as their standards have sunk to abominable depths, if this is not an ironic song. B) actually makes me respect them more for taking on the music industry at its dark already been chewed core. |

| Morningwood – Nth Degree Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Yeah, in some ways, this song is like Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" or Humpty's "Humpty Dance." It is all about chanting your name over and over again. The rest of the song is about how much the band members like one another. Nothing really deep. Except that if you didn't realize the band's name was morning wood, you'd think it was about waking up in a family sized bed with an erection. |
