Lyrical Themes - Likes & Dislikes

[Meat Engine]

At this point we've all listened to music so much that certain lyrical themes are no doubt trite and worn, whilst other potential gold mines are untapped. What do you hate? What would you like?



Boring

Satan/anti-Christianity

Vikings

Gore





Do want

Warhammer/Warhammer 40K. If I could convince my fellating lover to write some music for such, I would write bitchin' lyrical invocations to Slaanesh, Nurgle, Khorne and others. More blood for the blood god, more skulls for the skull throne.

then get some Bolt Thrower (and i'm pretty sure Dismember has some of those, too)

[Meat Engine]

Oh yeah, I forgot Bolt Thrower did some Warhammer stuff. We still need more. The whole of the canon is very metal indeed.

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Man]

I've always preferred personal and politicial/social issues as a source of lyrics. The music is usually more honest and passionate that way.

Yeah, death had some fucking killer personal lyrics. I love how chuck expressedhis disgust at shitty people as monumental battles.



You can really empathise with a lot of Chucks words.



And ironically, most of the shit lyrics out there are the angsty personal ones.

[Spirits of the Deep Waters]

likes: Babylonian, Ancient, Egypt

[Ninny]

I like melodrama and misery like alcoholism, broken hearts, dead mothers

[Abzu]

I do not find any themes boring or old. I do, however, find particular implementations to be either inspirational or unworthy.

Yes, but... Ageless Still I Am != Death.
