Words Suck

Is poetry stupid too?

Many songs are just poetry put to a melody. If the use of prose, metaphors, style, and rhythm to express an idea or feeling is not a valid or intelligent manner of expression, go ahead and throw out the majority of our literary works along with every song ever created.

Not saying all lyrics are good, poetry, or worth listening to, but to put a blanket statement of 'all song lyrics r dum' is wrong.

Or did I just get trolled?

Nobody wants filet mignon for every meal. Sometimes you just feel like a big mac.

Listen to most songs without the actual music and you'll be saying to yourself "what the fuck am I doing?" Most songs would be a pathetic excuse for poetry. Poetry has been mostly a fad for the last 400 years anyways, not to say there's not some good stuff. My favorite poem is "La Belle Dame sans Merci." I only like it because of the brief story and the message it carries - reading it is honestly painful, and I think a real story would better serve the cause of its creation. Nontheless, I do enjoy some poetry! I have no issue with poetry itself, but to say most songs are just poetry with a melody is wrong. They're half-rate poetry put to half-rate music and the writers are usually hoping you're too stupid to realize that the individual constituents are crap. For some reason putting them together fools people into believing it's quality.

I'd still enjoy Journey - Don't Stop Believin' 99.999% as much if every syllable was "blah." If people could get over their inhibitions about what's cool, I think they would find that they could too!

I never feel like a big mac - that shit is disgusting. And I would certainly take filet mignon for most meals very gladly =)

HOWEVER, your parallel holds no water here. The other side of such a parallel would imply that sometimes you need a break from good music to hear some shit music, but even then the cost of both are the same unlike with a filet vs McDonald's.

TRY AGAIN BRO

Admittedly, most lyrics are shallow.

But there is an art and experience to having something put sweetly, shortly, and aesthetically.

You slander all lyrics. As if they will never have meaning on the par of a picture or play.

Throw many songs, pictures, and people together, have a play. Enjoy it for what it is.

Not at all times are we able/in need of a lengthy sermon on love, or play, or hate, or sadness, or anger, or betrayal, or any other aspects of the human condition. Sometimes simple things are profound.

Enough words for you? Or would you like to read Terry Goodkind's Faith of the Fallen to get ur brain re-adjusted?

Yes big macs are pretty fucking disgusting. But you obviously probably know what one tastes like.

And sometimes, all u got is 5$ and there's nothing but a McDonalds nearbye, you don't have a fridge full of premium cuts, or a cow to slaughter and kindling to make a fire.
