Yeah, the lyrics work well when sung, but they look really stupid when you read them without the

context of the music. "Terrible Love" is a pretty good example imo: "It's a terrible love and I'm

walking with spiders", uh...



Sorry Yeti =[

I mean sure if you take the shit in the most literal translation.



but "spiders" metaphorically (and we're speaking about poetry in general when considering lyrics) can stand for a whole lot of things.



js.



also nothing to be sorry about Matt.

Haha, high five, Jared. What is it they say? Great minds think alike? :P



I'm all for metaphors and veiled meaning in songs (that can usually make them more engaging) but that one seems a little forced to me.
