Their lyrics rarely make sence.
...oh fine, Spaceman at least has to do with a common theme, I'll give it that.
But let's use my favourite example, shall we?
When You Were Young.
Seriously, this song makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENCE WHATSOEVER.
Also, I don't like it that much musically, but that's beside the point.
"The Devil's water, it ain't so sweet, you don't have to drink right now. But you can dip your feet every once in a little while."
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
If you're allowed to dip your feet in it, why the fuck would you want to drink it?
Another one:
"He doesn't look a thing like Jesus,"
What the fuck.
If you were at a crime scene, and the police asked you if you saw the robber/murderer/rapist, and you said yes, they'd ask you to describe them.
If you said "Well, he doesn't look a think like Jesus,"
They'd probably beat you for being an idiot.
They don't care what he DOESN'T look like.
Why would you ever tell someone what someone DOESN'T look like?
"Oh, he doesn't look like a cantaloupe."
Thanks. That helps a lot.
OKAY ENOUGH ABOUT ME HATING THE KILLERS AND BRANDON FLOWERS.
I actually do like music, to be honest.
My song of the week, "Creepin' up the Backstairs" by the Fratellis.
Fuck I love the Fratellis.
Flathead? The best dance song ever made.
But seriously. Creepin' up the Backstairs is awesome.
And, unlike When You Were Young, it makes sense.
...lol.
"Creepin' up the backstairs, mother's nightmares. Fallin' in the front door, my my. Crawlin' in the window, get dressed, let's go. Take your brother's car keys, bye bye!"
It's about sneaking out of the house, durrhuur.
But fuck I love that song.
Now, to answer a question put forth by someone.
I'm doing fine, I guess.
I've been trying to keep my mind off of you, to make this easier.
Not working.
I couldn't fall asleep 'till two last night because I missed you so much.
I went to bed at 11.
I miss everything about you.
Most of all, I miss talking to you.
Do you even miss anything about me at all?
I know you miss ME, but what about things ABOUT me?
I'm not a very...
Okay, how about: I'm a jackass.
I constantly made fun of you, I burned you on a regular basis, and laughed at you...
And I'm sorry. It was all in good humour...
I still love you, I really miss you.
I hope you're doing well.
Talk to you in a month, I guess...
fuck im not thin skinned.
ReplyDeletei knew you were joking.
im doing fine thx.
trying to get over all this.
and i have a couple notes on your argument about the killers.
2. in the 2008 awards the killers won "best band in america" and "best track in america" at the NME Awards. the killers won "best international band" at the NME awards in 2009. impressive? i think so at least.
2. his voice is decent. which is more than i can say for bob dylan. although bob dylan hits mot notes. just in his onwn 'special' way. lmfao. but yeah he hits the notes. and he was also voted like one of the sexiest men and best dressed man in some magazine. lmfao. and thats gotta count for something...
3. for gods sake your taking it soooo literally. like loosen up and listen to the meaning and the metaphors. "he doesn't look a thing like jesus" - jesus is an idealistic view. he is supposedly pretty much perfect, and a good role model and great archytype for like everything (leader, father, teacher, etc.) so saying "he doesnt look a thing like jesus means he is not perfect. he is not ideal, he is flawwed. he is not like jesus.
4. you have to really think about the devils water one. its not what your saying it is though. to me the devils water is symbolic of sin and indulgence. its a loss of innocence to me. to dip your feet in, to be on the way to maturity and learning about that kind of shit, but you dont have to drink. you arent suppose to drink it right away and lose your innocence. you can test the waters. but like i said. thats just my thought on that line.
i think alot of their music is very smart and thoughtprovoking. but then again i dont like songs that give me all the answers right off the hop. and tell you exactly what they think or what went down. i like the stuff that makes you think... keeps you puzzled. maybe that is just me. and if you dont like songs that require thinking, they have that too. like... mr brightside? smile like you mean it? don't shoot me santa? and all these things that ive done? (that ones a bit more vague but sooo good - "i got soul but im not a soldier..." although that could just be cause it kinda reminds me of ben at some parts) iunno. that just my opinion.
i dont know what i miss about you. i just do. but truthfully its getting better. i miss you less and less everyday... its still tough but im starting to believe more and more that this is the right thing.
So you don't miss anything about me. Just say it, I know it's true.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the killers musically. I gave them a chance, and I don't like them. That's my opinion.
I haven't given bob Dylan a fair chance, but I will.
Also, i've started to read the watchmen. It's good.
Also, it's cool with me that you love dr manhattan more than you ever loved me. I don't mind, seeing as I obviously deserve this for being a complete and utter jackass.
I'm glad you're getting over me. The faster you forget about me, the faster your life gets fundamentally better.
