I need to remember to put a link with each post. It makes it more interesting when I give you something to click on. You know: "inter-ACTIVE!" Riiiight, so anyways, to the real point of this post: song lyrics!
U2 has a new song out called Vertigo. Not a bad song but definitely not outstanding lyrics. But come to think of it, when it comes to lyrics, U2 is definitely hit or miss. Which isn't exactly a bad thing, but it's an interesting trend.
Certain U2 songs just plain have weak lyrics ("well you left my heart empty as a vacant lot/for any spirit to haunt"). Now I'll admit not exactly bad lyrics, i mean they've had worse I just can't remember any right now. Those words roll well and sound good, but the metaphor is cliched. It's only when U2 comes up with some good original lyrics ("they say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon/you know I don't see you when she walks in the room") that you realize the other lyrics are subpar for them.
