I hear so many generic love songs on both mainstream radio and more underground places, I like it when people write about something that has nothing to do with romance or the lack thereof. Even songs about family are more interesting. Of course, some songs are just inane excuses to sing nonsense, but even that's fun. I already went over some songs that annoyed me: here are some profound ones to think on:
"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold/All that you need is in your soul" - Lynyrd Skynyrd, "Simple Man"
"Who controls the present now controls the past" - Rage Against the Machine, "Testify"
"Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all" - Neutral Milk Hotel, "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"
What do you think of these thoughts? Any profound lyrics of yours to share? Anyone?
however, those of us who are sappy romantics turn to Taylor Swift because sometimes other people's insight is rather helpful in your own life. I suppose those that you don't relate to you tend to ignore (i used to not like rap because i didn't relate to them "b*tches and hos;" however, now i can look at it with humor because it's just ridiculous that people write about this. I also tend to like lyric-less songs, such as dubstep, because it is ultimately the music that pulls me in ^^
