crazydays Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 What's wrong with that? strikes me as how anyone younger than 11 would say 'fake', not easy to take seriously, but maybe that's just a US thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museic Syndrome Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 There's nothing wrong with 'be my slave to the grave' especially when you know what the song is about. At least it makes sense, unlike most of those in the top 10 list above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer29 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 In terms of overall song I'd say Survival is pretty much unbeatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 NSC pretty much has Matt's cheesiest lyrics. But I find it hilarious that they're so bad, so it's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 "its scent has been blowing in my direction" "I'm young but I know that I'm aroused" "its caramel nose can smell me" "stretch it like it's a birth squeeze" "Who's so phoney and always surrounded" "be my slave to the grave" "Fully loaded satellites" Slave to the grave is actually a good lyric in the context of the theme of the song. If you remember the working title for the song was "Action Faust" Look up the story Faust if you must. TSP is pretty much a musical representation of Faust.

jamieuk20 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I refer you to the above...how have more people not immediately written NSC?? Matt admits he wrote it about a relationship breakup, it wasn't intended to be on the Twilight OST - the worst line is surely "Hail, the preachers, fake and proud, Their doctrines will becloud, Then they'll dissipate, Like snowflakes in an ocean" - who writes a line like that if it's a breakup song? Plus general dislike of the swirly arpeggiator from 2:25 underneath, they've deffo recycled that from Starlight.. Take a Bow... KOC... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 who writes a line like that if it's a breakup song? Someone who's stated multiple times that the song was written from the frame of mind of when the relationship started/was doing well, instead of being about the breakup?

That line has no place in a relationship song, period - the political subtext is too strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Unless it also refers to (or exclusively refers to) people telling them their relationship wouldn't last. That's how I always viewed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt's Jawbone Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I used to think that Escape had really cringey lyrics, but I'm willing to forgive it on the grounds that it's an intensely personal song for Matt as he wrote it about his parents' spectacularly messy divorce when he was 13 years old. Anyways: "Brainwashing our children to be mean" If I hadn't known better I'd have thought this was a Marge Simpson quote. "You stole my overture" If I hadn't known better I'd have thought this was a Ralph Wiggum quote. "I wanna speak in a language that they'll understand" Um... no. "Counterbalance this commotion/We're not droplets in the ocean" Stretching for a rhyme much? "I thought I was a fool for no one, but ooh baby I'm a fool for you" This makes any cringey Drones lyrics look like fucking Shakespeare. "It's time the fat cats had a heart attack" Subtle as a clown with its cock hanging out. "I have played in every toilet/But you just want to spoil it/To prove I've made a big mistake" I think the first part sums it all up. "Controlling my feelings for too long/And forcing our darkest souls to unfold/And pushing us into self destruction" Actually all the lyrics on this song are so bad they're hilarious but this takes the cake. "I'm gonna make you/I'm gonna break you/I'm gonna make you/A fuckin' psycho" I think the "make"/"break" rhyme scheme needs to be retired from music immediately. "M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-mad-mad-mad" Whoever told him that was a good idea needs to be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manualex Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Can we add "incidentally electronically erased" to the list of bad lyrics "Here comes the drones" as well. I like the way that is sung but as a lyric is subtle as a brick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
