Q: what word would you prefer used to describe your lyrics that emphasizes how they're different from most songs? Some options I've considered are "abstract", "surreal", "stream-of-consciousness", "unusual", and "figurative", but none of them seem quite right and I'm sure that some descriptions might lean toward insulting if they downplay the thought that goes into your writing. So I thought I would check in to see if you've thought about this at all
A: how the lyrics are perceived is heavily wrapped up in how they are sung, and what the melody is. so describing the lyrics only would be kind of like describing the hydrogen in water. probably pretty difficult to separate from the oxygen if know what i mean. unless of course you are looking at the lyrics printed on a page without hearing the music, which is not the recommended experience
