“go to lonely starbucks lovers” my beloved
“It’s too late to roll the dice” instead of “it’s too late to apologize” sounds much more meaningful.
That because they really butcher it and say 'poligize.
The worst part is you can actually fit the full word in the same beat but it doesn’t sound dumb af
Ooh, I like this one! I thought it was, “it’s too late to call the job” when I first heard it and was pretty unsure what he was going for…
He’s sad because he was going to call in sick but waited too long.
Yes! Of course. I now have a whole music video of someone hideously hungover, driving to work singing this… Kind of like the “everybody hurts” video but like crazy shit is happening.
So you’re picturing me every morning back when I had to drive in to work. Got it.
Ah, so you are a Bexar drunk? I’m further down i10 myself, not sure I could go through that interchange every day.
Edit: I am being too literal again, I think.
Harris. Also just off 10.
I do know her well! Hi neighbor! I hope you don’t have to suffer the i10 610 interchange daily!
And I’ll sing all night and in the mornin’ light
When your shades are on and your head’s on ice
You’ll know you’ve seen the redneck sodomy
“Sewing machines of love”
-Tears for Fears
Damn it, Mr.Ingle. Can you not sing “in the garden of eden” without sounding like you have a mouth full of pudding?
Fuck it. We’ll just change the name of the damned song. Who the hell makes a 17 minute long song, anyhow? You’re a damned idiot!
Also, Mr. Miller? What the hell is a pompatus of love??
Huh, thought it was the pamplemousse of love
I cannot hear this song without thinking that the background singers are repeatedly saying “cut your balls off” during the refrain
The music commands and I obey
That’s when it’s time to write a cover.
There’s a break-up song on Chvrch’s debuted album called Tether. One line, frequently repeated, goes “I’m feeling capable of… seeing the end.” A fine lyric, very breakup, much hopeful.
Except, I can’t tell when listening that she isn’t saying “I feel incapable of…” I don’t know if it’s intentional but I think the ambiguity really elevates the song from semi-empowering breakup song to powerfully-relatable song about the chaos of seeing a relationship end; simultaneously believing you can get through it while also having no idea how you’ll ever get through it.
It’s just fun wordplay too: feeling capable/feel incapable. Makes me want to use that structure more in my own writing.
The ambiguity might be intentional too! It would allow different ways of reading into the emotions
That reminds me of Night Sky, which has “I will ne’er be free” but it sounds a lot like “I will now be free”
🎶Concrete jungle wet dream toma-to!🎶
There used to be a greater power alone on the sea:
You became a light on the dark side of me. Love became a draw that I could not appeal. But did you know that when it snows, My eyes become alive, and the light that you shine can be seen?Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey…
I always think of Metallica’s Saint Anger:
🎶 Medallion noose, I hang myself
Saint Anger 'round my neck
I feel my world shake
Like an earthquake
Hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I’m not even angry with you
I’m not even angry with you
I’m not even angry with you
I’m not even angry with you
🎶
Yet the real lyrics are:
I’m madly in anger with you
I’m madly in anger with you
I’m madly in anger with you
I’m madly in anger with you
… sigh…
In lay me down by the dirty heads, the line:
But they were seen by the good eye of the mean billy green
Should have been:
But they were seen by the keen eye of the mean billy green
Probably a tad obscure, but at the end of Set (Extended Mix) there’s a section where they repeat “converge” but I can’t help but hear ‘you’re a virgin’ XD
Then again I don’t like that better than the original lyric per se, it’s just different
When you’re in Morrowind, oh, baby, that’s sick
I need to know the song title for this one
It’s a relatively minor difference, but for decades, I thought the lyric in Smashing Pumpkins’ Muzzle went
🎵 My life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed at once 🎵
and it’s been one of my favorite lines in any song. Except I was wrong. It goes
🎵 My life has been extraordinary blessed and cursed and won 🎵
It’s not a favorite anymore.
