On awesome lyrics:
Have you heard The Shins? Its an american indie pop band. The genre, I love, they sing. And I absolutely love their songs. But most of all their lyrics, fancy this:
Born on a desert floor, you've the deepest thirst,
And you came to my sweet shore to indulge it,
With the wan and dreaming eyes of an orphan,
But there is not enough,
There is not enough.
Out of a gunnysack for red rabbits,
Into the crucible to be rendered an emulsion,
And we can't allow a chance they'd restore themselves,
So we can't make it easy on you.
Or this:
So affections fade away,
And do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?
On the faith of ruddy sons,
And the double-barreled guns,
You better hurry,
Rabbit, run, run, run.
'Cause meeting you was fun,
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell.
We're taking it over,
Their brittle, thorny stems,
They break before they bend,
And neither one of us is one of them.
It's poetry at its perfect play. Of late, have been seriously addicted to their song, red rabbits, give it a hear. You're sure to fall in love with the lyricist.
