what's the worst lyric you've ever heard?
hard mode - no rap
hard mode:
>There are six and three quarter billion people in this world
>And 51 percent of them are girls
why don't you tell us what percentage of the Earth's surface is covered in water too?

I don't listen to bad music so I wouldn't know.
>>50199590
That's actually not as bad as the gem I have here:
>Look at this photograph
>Every time I do it makes me laugh
>How did our eyes get so red?
>And what the hell is on Joey's head?
>And this is where I grew up
>I think the present owner fixed it up
This is memerap quality lyricism
How do you guys judge lyrics?
I only see it as shit if it's completely corny, cliche, or is really stupid. Other than that, I see no problem with anything.
>Smelling of semen all under the garden
>Was all you were needing when you still believed in me
>>50199722
lyrics must set the theme/emotions, tell a story or at least melodically accompany the music in order to be considered passable. Other wise they are shit lyrics. The best lyricists can do all 3, good lyricists do 2 and mainstream pop usually only has the latter.
>>50199633
those aren't even bad. that song is one of Nickelback's best.
>>50199590
>quit these pretentious things and just punch the [begin whispering halfway thru word] clock
>Cheer up and dry your damp eyes

>>50199786
See I think
>set the theme/emotions
Is done by the music anyway so it's not total necessary for the lyrics to, though can be good if it does it as well
>tell a story
I don't think this is necessary either. Country does it a lot, and it usually makes my eyes roll.
>melodically accompany the music
This is most important, the words should fit melodically, it's awful hearing someone try to cram 3 syllables into one note.
>>50199809
>tfw I wasted all my free time alone growing up
>>50199885
Ew, Who did this? Stryper?
>>50199938
Lyrics complement music so good stories/themes/emotions derived from lyrics only enhance the quality of a song while going any of these 3 things badly just makes the song worse, but I see what you mean when you say it's not always necessary while fitting in melodically certainly is.
The way I see it is this:
good song= good music
good song= good musc+good lyrics
good song= good music+ok lyrics
bad song= bad music
bad song= good music+shitty lyrics

fuck me im drunk i mean shit what's that emo band called shiet....hawthorne heights. dammit lol
>>50201638
That was Hawthorn Heights actually. Story of the year was that band with the jump kicking dude right. Dont ask how i know.
Probably every song by Dragon Force.
>>50201669
didnt see this post. derp
>>50201690
>>50201707
yeah i realized at the last second lol
Any pretentious metalcore or post-hardcore song by 16-year olds. Especially band names make me cringe. Examples:
>Being As An Ocean
...what?
>As We Lay Dying
what would be so interesting about that
>Stick Together
xHxCx family blood loyalty strong men straight edge i'll die for you bro oh wait i turned 21 nvm
>A Day To Remember
I just feel the whole metalcore or pop-punk/whatever uses some passage from a non-existing book, some even are such unspired slackers they use high school books (Of Mice And Men).
>>50198772

Yeah I was into Parkway Drive and Bring Me The Horizon at some point, but I've always cringed at the names. They always just seemed like there was no meaning behind them. I felt none of these names had any true story or name to them, plus they weren't even clever or anything.
Parkway Drive is just a reference to the place where they'd meet or something, not that you're a big PD fan and I want to convince you, but yeah, I really feel there's no meaning to these names, which is just a slacker move to me.

A social status isn't material
Most chart-topping songs have lyrics worse than anything itt

So it should be 'superficial', not 'material'. who cares? the point being conveyed is quite sweet

Ladies and gentlemen!
Introducing the Chocolate Starfish!
And the Hotdog Flavored Water
Bring it on!
Get the fuck up!
Yeah!
Check, one, two
Listen up, listen up!
Here we go
[Verse 1]
It's a fucked up world, a fucked up place
Everybody's judged by their fucked up face
Fucked up dreams, fucked up life
A fucked up kid with a fucked up knife
Fucked up moms and fucked up dads
It's a fucked up a cop with a fucked up badge
Fucked up job with fucked up pay
And a fucked up boss is a fucked up pain
Fucked up press and fucked up lies
Well, Lethal's in the back with the fact of the fires
[Bridge] (2X)
Hey (It's on)
Everybody knows it's on
[Verse 2]
Ain't it a shame that you can't say "Fuck"
Fuck's just a word and it's all fucked up
Like a fucked up punk with a fucked up mouth
A nine inch nail I'll get knocked the fuck out
Fucked up aids from fucked up sex
Fake ass titties on a fucked up chest
We're all fucked up, so what you wanna do?
We fucked up me and fucked up you
[Hook]
You wanna fuck me like an animal?
You'd like to burn me on the inside?
You like to think that I'm a perfect drug?
Just know that nothing you do
Will bring you closer to me
[Verse 3]
Ain't life a bitch? A fucked up bitch
A fucked up sore with a fucked up stitch
A fucked up head is a fucked up shame
Swinging on my nuts is a fucked up game
Jealousy filling up a fucked up mind
It's real fucked up like a fucked up crime
If I say "Fuck" two more times
That's forty six "Fucks" in this fucked up rhyme
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Hooo-haaa haaaw!
Listen up baby
You... can't... bring... me... (Bring me) down
I... don't... think... so, I don't think so
You... better... check... your... (Check it) self

Fred Durst is objectively the best worst lyricist in music. I'd say Break Stuff is his shining shit gem though.
"I hope you know I pack a chain saw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps goin' this way I just might break your fuckin' face tonight!!
Give me somethin' to break
Give me somethin' to break
Just give me somethin' to break
How bout your fuckin' face
I hope you know I pack a chain saw, what!!...
A chain saw, what!!...
A motherfucking chain saw, what!!...
So come and get it"
That is a real song. Holy shit I love Fred Durst and his crusty shell

It's hard for me to say this, because it comes from a band that I love, but on the song Chaos Deathcult by Zyklon, there is a sort of electronic outro, with some spoken word over it:
>I am God, I am the Devil, I am Lucifer, I am Jesus, I am every god that man has created, because man has created the gods.

This political cartoon is so bad, why is Uncle Sam the sole defender of Western civilization? And you can't tell if Islam is killing the US or saving it. It looks like the US is trying to pull the trigger while glorious Islam is holding the hammer back, saving the West from "degenerate" liberalism.

Heh, you could apply that logic actually. I mean, after 9/11 conservatism certainly got stronger and the US government was able to roll back liberalism.

Avey sometimes enters the world of really strange things to include in songs. They always throw me off, but honestly there are just a couple instances, and if you cherry pick, then it looks awful, I mean its awful to begin with, but a lot of Avey's lyrics are pretty fuggin good.
But he really does choose to phrase some things in the weirdest way.

Rather than using some other way of saying that he is water. But hey, its a kind of cool line.
