Odin wrote:Matt Good have already passed OLP in my heart. You take OLP's best song (lyrically):
Goodnight, the future's sold out
there's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far
Tonight your faith has come down
To money and a TV
Psychics who've never been to Mars and
Nazi breast feeding....
And now you take one of the best Matt Good song:
You will come back within yourself
You can be art when we melt
And I will know what you were for
I say we're leaving
There ain't nothing here at all
Another day, a week the mall...
Suburbia is much more poetic.
I'd say most of the lyrics off of Naveed can match most of MGB's (I don't think "Is Anybody Home" is OLP's best song lyrically)... that's just my opinion though.
here's just a few examples of some amazingly crafted lyrics throughout Naveed:
"Hopelessly a man starts to feed your day
Once he was there you never looked back
How do you think that his words might just fade away
He seems harmless enough so you let him in and now you'll pay
I can't see him but he's stalking my thoughts..."
"Well I let go of the world that was holding
A passenger that could not fly
In search of souls
In search of something
Let it go, and let it slide"
"Climbing down the hours and I need to know now
Do the hands of time only rule this chapter"
"Drowning in her own visions,
She's begging the past to stay behind
A black cat in the night,
And there's a black cat in that sky"
"So you feel that stain,
Dried up discussions without weight"
"Time can't fix it fast enough,
So we won't notice what it was went wrong
I saw something there much too familiar
A butterfly with a broken wing
She's fallen under, she's past the end,
Communication's down and down and down
The scars have healed, but they're back again
We've got to believe this man must bend"
"I watch the traffic,
I find the seeds
And one man in particular
Well he's not what he seems
So I quick, quick
I can't focus in
On the lies in his head
Convinced... oh, that his blood is blue
But it's red, red, red... yeah!"
"Hope climbs atop of the piano
Reaching out towards the warmth of the sun"
"Much more than seven days, you've slipped too deep
Much stronger than sympathy, let your best friend pull back that leash
Sitting by a frozen man, someone somewhere has to cry
We're under zenith again let the cycle run we won't die"
...well, you get the point :wink:
