An even higher artform is doing this while simultaneously incorporating meaning into those lyrics, something Elimination is suggesting Patton does not, and you apparently agree with.
In fact, you imply it is somehow less of an artform if truly instrumentational lyrics DO have meaning, which is silly.
If anything, it's harder to both have serious meaning and to write lyrics primarily as music. If it can be done successfully it is all the more impressive.
You guys are deriding half of Patton's incredible ability in order to fit his music to your silly, pretentious, and ulitmately immature ideas about "art."
