Best lyrics.

--- Quote from: ASturge ---I don't 'get' metal lyrics.
They just don't seem honest enough to me.

That might have something to do with a large chunk of them being fictional. Trying to listen to most Metal for "honest" lyrics is stupid. But there's nothing much to get at times. There are bands with deep, intelligent and insightful lyrics...but "honest"...the hell?. It's the music you need to get mainly anyway.
ASturge:
nono, i like fictional lyrics (colin meloy is my fave lyrisist for gods sake)
i just dont like big beardy men lamenting about his big motor cycle of social commentary.
But each to his own i suppose...
KharBevNor:
Anyway, that Skyclad lyric I posted a bit up is metal. I don't think you can get much more honest than Skyclad.
Most modern metal musicians neither have beards nor particularly large size :o
Robbo:
I think Dark Tranquillity lyrics would probably make your head explode. They're horrible but I love them, so much over the top metaphysical commentry on tripped out ideas. It's great.
EDIT: Nor do they sing about motor cycles.
KharBevNor:
Indeed, far few people sing about motorcycles nowadays, it's all 'treason wall' this and 'the sadistic motives behind bereavment letters' that. Not enough bikes!
