OK lets compare these shit lyrics to REAL music



Nickleback - Gotta Be Somebody

This time, I wonder what it feels like

To find the one in this life, the one we all dream of

But dreams just aren't enough



Swans - You're Not A Real Girl

"nothing inside you is real

nothing inside you is real

nothing inside you is real

nothing inside you is real"



Music, what the HELL happened?!

it is heavily implied that the main character meets their special other, with the lines "this feels too right" showcaseing how the main character has finally found the one

nickle back r really deep

most of gira's lyrics are not poetry true but same thing can be said about can or amon duul ii.

they're just a framework, it's the music that paints the actual picture

could you explain the "wank" part? I always imagined wankery was little more than showing off one's skills

i think you're over-examining a bit, maybe gira just likes making what he likes. i figured most good musicians make it for themselves

okay that makes sense, but that's also what I kinda liked about Picasso's later stuff tbh

"Swans is Michael Gira's vehicle for egotistical, self-flagellating expression."

that can be said about any music/art project

Also for the second time already shark he didn't mean Picasso.

a lot of new wave-ish front dudes give off that impression really, it turns me off from it at times
