Fun Stuff > BAND

lyrics important?

<< < (3/11) > >>

heretic:
ok, i'm a big silly. you win.
my lyrics are proof of my big sillyness, but then again in the song we don't wanna call it sillyness, i call it maximus

KharBevNor:
I agree with Rob quite a lot, though I personally LOVE cheese-arse and gore/toilet stuff. Lyrics can often be the icing on the cake of a band though. For example, Skyclad post Martin Walkyier still has the great music, with the violin/guitar duo of Georgie Biddle and Dan Ramsey intact at the centre of the band, but without the tortuous, bitter lyrics they just ain't the same, for all Kevin Ridley deliberately imitates Walkyiers writing and singing style. I love them for their lyrics, but they do have great music. I'm far more concerned with the voice as an instrument really: awesome vocalists can make up for the shitest of lyrics. (old Theatre of Tragedy is a case in point. Easily some of the worst, cheesiest goth-cliche lyrics ever, couched in such atrociously written Shakesperean verse that many songs were unintelligble, yet the vocals!)

Also, I'm 17. The last song I wrote was:

SYMBOLOGIE DIABOLIQUE

Domitianus Caesar Legatos, Xti Violenter Interfecit
Submerged symbolism, implicit or explicit
Ancient pictograms of Mictecacihuatl
Hakkenkreuz and Wolfsangel
Evil, evil everywhere
Our world sits on the brink

Danse macabre as the pentagrams turn
Watch the crooked cross in your sunwheel burn
Triskeleton totenkopf, when will we learn?
At the hands of the beast we’ll get what we earn

Ahead of schedule for our date with Marduk
Six-sixty-six: our bolt in Christ struck
Numerical heresies, crimes against reason
Order and logic are out of season
Eighteen eighty eight: year of Jack
On the highway to hell there’s no way back

Danse macabre as the pentagrams turn
Watch the crooked cross in your sunwheel burn
Triskeleton totenkopf, when will we learn?
At the hands of the beast we’ll get what we earn

The keys to comprehension
A matter of dissension
This kabbalistic clidomancy
Our path to the shore of sanity
A symbolic white horse headed for hell
Will man outlive? Time may tell.

Danse macabre as the pentagrams turn
Watch the crooked cross in your sunwheel burn
Triskeleton totenkopf, when will we learn?
At the hands of the beast we’ll get what we earn


Miss Lavigne's just dumb

zekterellium:
khar, you saying you wouldn't fuck her?

that was a pretty cool rhyme, bro.

KharBevNor:
If you wouldn't do Avril Lavigne, you are either a homosexual or a man with taste and breeding.

I am neither.

zekterellium:
hahaha
