Lyrical Genius? Lyrical Moron...

Hello hello!

Hope everyones doing FANTASTIC.  I know, its been a while since my last entry - forgive me.  Now that that's done, I'm back!  For those of you who know me, you know I'm a music lover.  All kinds of music, different genres, I love a good beat, a great tune, and of course, good lyrics.  Lately, I've noticed - lyrics, they're just not what they used to be.  NO, actually - they just suck, and I’m annoyed at stupid song lyrics.  Enough is enough.  I’m also annoyed that songs with moronic lyrics get SO much attention.

There are several thousand, but I’m going to use only a few examples:

"Tik Tok" by Ke$ha (I will say, this song has a great beat)

"Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy
(Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door, I'm gonna hit this city
(Lets go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back"

First of all, whats it mean to wake up feeling like P Diddy - what does that even MEAN? It's just nonsense, she clearly just needed a word to rhyme with "city".  Brushing your teeth with a bottle of Jack? Do I really need to hear about her morning routine? Also, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Is she using Jack Daniels as toothpaste?  Or is she brushing her teeth, taking a sip, brushing her teeth, etc.  Kesha, I think you might just be an alcoholic, furthermore, this practice certainly cannot help with morning breath. And is it morning or night? Shes talking about getting up in the morning, but then she says when she leaves for the night shes not coming back, its just all kinds of confusion.


"Upgrade You" by Beyonce, Feat. Jay Z.

"Hehehe Yeah b,
Talk your sh** heheh (partner let me upgrade you)
How you're gonna upgrade me
What's higher than number one"
Hmmm..."What's higher than number one"

LITERALLY, EVERY OTHER NUMBER.  I understand the sentiment here. He's trying to say, whats better or higher than 1st place...that's really what he should have said though. Retarded.



“Grenade” by Bruno Mars.

“I’d catch a grenade for ya
Throw my head on a blade for ya
I’d jump in front of a train for ya
You know I’d do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won’t do the same ”

I don’t need you to catch a grenade for me, I need you to push me out of the way of a grenade, or build me a bomb shelter.  Furthermore, in what instance would it ever be beneficial for me for you to throw your hand on a blade?  I’m going to go with, never. Seriously, who says "throw your hand on that blade, or the girl is dead...". And, you're willing to die for her, and she isn't...clearly, you're misinterpreting something. Not only is she not willing to die for you but the song goes on to say "If my body was on fire Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames" This isn't a girl who simply doesn't love you enough, this is a girl who really cant stand you, and pretty much wants you dead - by one of the worst methods possible. If you're willing to go through all this trouble for a girl that clearly cant stand you, that's not romance, that's just creepy. This song isn’t cute, or romantic, its just poorly written.
