A Scale, A Mirror, And Those Indifferent Clocks - Bright Eyes

"A Scale, A Mirror, And Those Indifferent Clocks" By Bright Eyes On The Album "Fevers & Mirrors"

Here is a scale, weigh it out
And you will find, easily
More than sufficient doubt
That these colors you see
Were picked in advance
By some careful hand
With an absolute concept of beauty
They are smeared and these blurs
Come in random order
To color the eyes of your former lovers
Hers were green like July
Except when she cried
They were red
Now I know a disease
That these doctors cant treat
You contract it the day
You accept all you see
Is a mirror and a mirror is all it can be
A reflection of something were missing
And language just happened
It was never planned
And its inadequate to describe where I am
In the room of my house
Where the light has never been
Waiting for this day to end
And these clocks keep unwinding
And completely ignore
Everything that we hate or adore
Once the page of a calendar is turned its no more
So tell me, then, what was it for?
Oh, tell me, what was it for?

this is the worst music i have ever heard, the chords are gross and not original how is he the best artist if he just takes chords everyone uses and plays them slow and bitches about his life with a terrible voice fuck you all

@gingey0212 "this is the worst music I have ever heard" thanks for your unwanted opinion. “the chords are gross and not original" how can chords be 'gross'? How does the originality of chords used have any sort of bearing on the quality of the song? I’d suggest the combination and order of chords in contrast with the vocals and other instruments is what ultimately makes the song unique. "plays them slow" again, I don't see how the tempo of the song has any bearing on the quality.
