I honestly think the "falling" family of lyrics is the most used in the history of music. And it transcends all genres. |

11.10.10 | Sometimes I feel like they're trying a bit hard, but yea, agree. Some hardcore/screamo, even the original ones you know mean it, still fall prey to it. "We're just desperate kids, and yea...I can feel the steel mill's rust." (Yes, I like both bands). They can't all possibly be on the brink of death when they write the song. |
Scoot
11.10.10 | Haha it's like who the fuck comes up with those lyrics? But they're freaking amazing. If they had crappy lyrics they wouldn't be nearly as popular. |

awhiteguy
11.10.10 | One of the worst I've heard at this is August Burns Red. Every song is filled with them, some following others. They're also very repetitive. One of the lines I remember most is "The walls of the church don't make it holy." I mean, they make some very crushing metalcore(take that with a grain of salt, please), but some of the lyrics are just downright ridiculous. |
