Words Suck

[Heebo]

"What Sarah Said"

And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself

'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"

So who's going to watch you die?..

To say that a 5 minute song with lyrics is incapable of expressing thought or emotion better than a piece of writing can is a subjective statement.

Incapable? I fully acknowledge they could, however, they don't! Two half-ass halves don't make a quality whole.

Stay tuned for my new album - we will be reciting Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice against some tacky dubstep - surely we'll sell millions

Kitschy as hell! I would stop paying attention after the first rhyme, and having read the entire thing, I'd certainly be glad to have exercised such prudence.

What a rambling convoluted mess!

gdi jeremy.

We both know writing is just a way for the government to place subliminal messages inside our heads.

Also, aliens. Possibly Bigfoot.

Wat rhyme?

[quido]

time and 409

hospitals use industrial grade bulk cleaners anyways - what a bunch of morans

[Heebo]

That's not a rhyme.

Anyway, I guess it's just a fundamental difference of opinion. Mine being the correct opinion and yours being the intentionally obstonant opinion of a hipster.

[Daldolma]

literature is an objectively more profound and nuanced medium than music

lyrics are literature

op is wrong
