@i7omahawki Well I'm just saying that about Mike Patton and the way he chooses to write. I can't say I believe every lyricist/singer chooses to write their music that way. I believe that lyrics, depending on who we are talking about, are just as important as the over all melody and the music for that matter.

[i7omahawki]

@Scarecrow6459 'but'? I think that's pretty much the exact argument I'm promoting.

Sure the words accent and provide 'pictures' for the song...but they aren't the central meaning behind it. The music (including vocal instrumentation) is the meaning!

[Scarecrow6459]

@i7omahawki True to some of what your saying, but Patton has always said in his music that writes lyrics in a way that it's more for how they sound then what they exactly mean. He's basically saying that he uses his voice more like an instrument. I mean if you listen to a Fantomos album, prime example.

GIVE ME SOMETHING WET IN YOUR MOUTH!!

@CrackThoseClaws Any specific moral or message superimposed onto these songs would make them worse, not better. Fitting words with the music is all lyrics are, and should be. Songs with 'deep' messages are some of the shallowest and least profound I've ever heard. These guys aren't afraid to let the music do the talking, and that is exactly what makes him lyrically gifted.

Having a % of genius seems absurd. And oh...well then, lay off the cocaine?

[CrackThoseClaws]

@i7omahawki

Okay, he's good at fitting the lyrics with the music.

But, as for a deeper meaning, he's not even trying to.

So, he's just about 30% of a lyrical genius. Because that's how much fitting the lyrics to a song counts, the rest is how powerful the words are and how awesome the message can be.

It's nerves because of cocaine.

[i7omahawki]

@CrackThoseClaws Right, I didn't say there was 'deeper meaning'. Infact I suggested the exact opposite. Doesn't make it any less genius though...say, did you even READ my comment?

Lyrics are words to go with music.

Genius means to do something exceptionally well.

He fits the words to the music exceptionally well.

He is a lyrical genius.

Which point do you have a problem with? Or is it general nerves over using the word genius in art, though it has been used for millenia?

[CrackThoseClaws]

@i7omahawki

No. The word "genius" is just too much. He knows he's using lyrics just for fitting the music.

There's no deeper meaning or anything new behind FNM's lyrics.

[i7omahawki]

@CrackThoseClaws How does that contradict him?

He said lyrical genius, not scientific, philosophical, psychological...just lyrical.

Lyrics are words to go with songs, so if he uses words that fit exceptionally well with a song, it makes him a lyrical genius, right?

Messages and meanings aren't necessary to songs, the music is the meaning. Recognizing this makes you a better lyricist.

@bubmarley

HAHAHA, lyrical genius? Patton has stated that he just writes lyrics that are fitting to the song, he doesn't give a shit about the meaning and he's not trying to convey any message.
