"Show me the skyline and I'll show you decadence,
a subtle reminder of hearts filled with loneliness,
give me your worst words and I'll bring the sticks and stones,
I'd hate to use them,
you can't shake it with broken bones..."
Even if this is song was actually a joke, this is such a depthful and amazing verse lyrically. I don't even like the song much, love ATL, but the words get to me so much I find myself listening to it all the time.
Show me the skyline and I'll show you decadence, a subtle reminder of our hearts filled with loneliness... like breakdown and the beautiful but decadent nature of what we create. It's beautiful, but empty.
Give me your worst words and I'll bring the sticks and stones, I'd hate to use them. You can't shake it with broken bones... I love this. It's such a perfect play on words. Like the irony of supposedly "not caring" about words, but bringing sticks and stones because you're at the end of your rope. 'I'd hate to use them' being again ironic and somewhat sarcastic.

Even when they write a joke, they put their heart and souls into the lyrics, don't they? That's why I adore ATL.
