| New set of lyrics - Death is Glorifying. |
[06 22 2003·12:34am] |
This has been one of the most interesting lyrics set to write so far...basically, to put it simple, I wrote the most disturbing lyrics I could write. I've always had people say my lyrics were beautiful no matter how dark/light they were, or irrelevant to the subject (if it's an "evil" one then it becomes morbidly beautiful, just doesn't work). Pretty much all of them are very real subjects though, there is: love, lust, sex, masochism, sadism, religion, god, self-mutilation, war, religious extremism, anger, killing, torture, child abuse, partner abuse, anorexia, bulemia, sexism, honor, and finally death (not really in any particular order, but they're all there). Fairly heavy? Personally, I would say so. They're good though, or at least personally I think so. These lyrics aren't limited by my regular sense of censorship (although I have written some fairly disturbing lyrics before), so they're more explicit. Of course, the marketability of explicit lyrics (that are without being for the sake of it) is fairly large, especially with many people specifically looking for things like that. There's also a very strange theme of this sort of "backwards" feeling that goes throughout the entire album. I wouldn't know though if it's subtle - some of it's very up-to-your-face if you know what I mean, particularily "Live Gnivil". There's a lot of other ones though, for example "adopted parents" and "excalibur's sword". Those are some of the obvious ones.
Also, I think this is the first lyrics set which I used the word "shit" and "vomit"...usually when I write dark lyrics it ends up being sort of pretty anyway and that's not detrimental to the actual lyrics but somehow I don't like the idea that I am limited to just beautiful writing. In order to be able to survive in the market the obvious statement would be that the flexibility as well as the versatility would be fairly required and additionally useful. People often try to make this somehow controversial, however just because you are good at many things does not necessarily mean you are not as good at each of them. True, there is a limit to talent and genetically it would make sense if your genetic ability was concentrated on one subject it would be more powerful - however, as an artist it becomes obvious and apparent that although the ability in order to develop a solid style of your own is important, the ability to have for example, several of these styles or any other type of style is just as important. Even for actual talent, as an example the physical talent is still a prequisite for any instrument that should be played. and although this must go with the actual original musical talent, obviously the requirement of both becomes rather apparent.
Anyway, back to the original point. Here are the lyrics. I do appreciate feedback, even if it's just an "I like it", and interpretations of the actual lyrics are fairly interesting to hear as well, my ability on creating an accurate message of what I'm trying to say would be rather dependent on other's opinions, not of my own.
