#a genius lyricist

[shortamarble]

i’ve listened to mr. joey bateys song ‘welly boots’ approximately 156 times this week and every time i listen to it i relate it more and more to geralt and jaskier 😭 i know it’s technically about coping with the death of a loved one but don’t the lyrics just SCREAM geraskier ??

Oh darling lord, how you make me laugh/ Get drunk for me, sing louder than you’ve sung for me/ Grow young each time that thunder in your lungs begins to rumble at the world/ 'Cause you were always strong

They said ‘That girl, she’s wrong’/ But I’ll stick up for you, even though you haven’t got a clue, you haven't got a fucking clue

You’ll miss me, oh Jesus Christ, you’ll miss me/ Just as much as all those years ago, and you’ll look up at the storm

You’ll say ‘I’ve been so scared/You left me here behind, do you not care?/ How the fuck am I supposed to carry on without you here?‘

#the witcher #geralt of rivia #geralt x jaskier #jaskier #geraskier #dandelion #maybe it’s the tism talking #maybe i’m just projecting everything onto my favs again because of it #but this song still got me crying thinking about them #it’s mixed pov #but it MAKES SENSE #joey batey #is a genius #a genius lyricist #and storyteller #and i love all of his songs

face the sun fifth track domino, my beloved show don't tell song, i love you so much

the usage of a domino show the feeling of helplessly and breathlessly falling in love with someone as they have the upper hand but still enjoying the fall because it's already unstoppable and predictable and your feelings are clearly visible anyway so might as well hug and welcome the fall is so sickly intelligent of the lyricists istg

"it's a bit dangerous standing next to you / this natural tension that i like" - the feeling of dangerousness as you put dominoes side by side being likened to standing beside the one you like but still continuing to put them side by side bc the result is intriguing.

"i'm trying to hold on / the one who makes me in a defenseless state" - dominoes standing side by side are all in a defenseless state

"touch me with a tap / and with hoo, i let out my breath / i fall over in an instant / like domino / falling over in order / this feeling no body knows / i fall over in one hit / like domino" - one tap and one exhale is all it takes for the dominoes to fall down, easily, just like falling in love. it only takes one little thing and you're already falling.

"you put me down and pick me up, this feeling in loop / things change with just one tip of your finger / ... stopping now is more difficult for me"

Ok so like Tolerate It by Taylor Swift is such a masterpiece, I was listening to it after work and realized that it was such a perfect material for an Erwin Smith angst lmao. Anyway, here's the result of my tolerate it brainrot 👀💀

You sit and watch him.

You sit and watch him, forehead creasing upon reading the reports he got this morning.

You sit and watch him, his veiny hands that knows both violence and gentleness scribbling important pieces of information on an empty sheet, pile after pile.

You sit and watch him, as he massages his temple, drinking the cup of tea you made for him while he continues to work very late at night.

You sit and watch him, clad in his uniform of authority as he gets ready to go to the headquarters.

You sit and watch him, as he closes the door, setting off for another day of fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of a commander.

And while your husband's away, you also fulfill the duties of a wife. Cleaning, polishing the plates until they gleam and glisten, doing the chores, making the house a home.

At the end of the day, you wait by the door. You wait for your dear husband's return. And when he does, you greet him with a battle hero's welcome, as he should be, pulling him into a tight hug and telling him a warm 'welcome home' as you bury your face on his chest. And he pulls away, telling you to send dinner in his office and you smiled. As the perfect housewife you wanted to be, you cheerfully responded to his request. And when he went upstairs, the smile on your face was immediately replaced with a look of emptiness.

Mrs. Smith. That's who you are. The wife of Erwin Smith. The wife of the great commander. The perfect wife for a perfect husband.

That's how it all used to be. You met him when you were young and when he was still a dreamy-eyed teenager who dreamed of seeing the whole world. He was your first love and you were his. He went to military training and was separated from you. You feared that the time you spent away would pull you away from each other. But he came back. He came back as someone older and much wiser. You fretted that he might already have met someone else. You worry that he has already forgotten about you. But when your eyes locked together inside the tavern where his friends celebrated his return, he smiled at you and hurriedly went your way. You were nervous, anxious about what's to happen and that's when he grabbed your hand and took you outside where it was just the two of you under the twinkling starry night. And that's when he confessed that he never stopped thinking of you. It made your heart flutter, it took you to seventh heaven. The next words he said made tears fall from your eyes. 'Will you marry me?', he asked. Tears of joy welled up in your eyes you didn't know how to react. 'But what about your dream? The world?', you replied. 'You are my world Y/N', he caressed your cheeks, resting his forehead against yours. And you have never felt so happy. You agreed to his proposal with a kiss and that's when you became Mrs. Smith

It was a dream. Being married to Erwin Smith felt like a dream. He was everything a wife could ask for. He was gentle, he was kind, he was sweet, he was all the good things in the world. But as years passed by and he got promoted, an unspeakable distance was slowly creeping to tear the perfect marriage you have.

It used to be a house filled with warmth. It used to be a house filled with laughter. It used to be a house filled with sweetness. It used to be a house filled with love. It used to be a home. But it has now become an empty shell of what it used to be. Now it's merely the house of the great commander and the perfect housewife.

Where's the man who used to throw blankets over your barbed wire? He was gone. He was building other worlds without you. Once you used to be his world, but that's a story from a long time ago. You are now begging for footnotes in the new chapter of his life.

And he assumed you were fine.

Hiding it with your warm smiles and gentle touches. You have perfected the art of suppressing it all in. Because you love him.

You even convinced yourself. Using the best colors to paint his portrait. That he's still the man you married, the gentle, sweet, kind and loving husband. And sometimes you thought, maybe that's all this marriage really is. Merely a picture perfect union.

But there are days, days when the pain is too much and you realize that your love should be celebrated and not taken for granted. And that's when the thoughts start coming in. What if you take this dagger from your heart and remove it? What if you break free? What if you leave your marriage in ruins? What would he do if you did it?

But you never can. This was all just in your head. You have made him your temple, your mural, your sky. You love him more than your own happiness. You vowed to love him, to have and to hold, for better or for worse. And that's what Mrs. Smith will do.

You sit and watch him as he tolerates you tolerating him.

I refused to pick favourites for years but it has to be said out of all mcr's solo stuff, frank's fucks the hardest

#it helps that he has a backlog ig #mikey and ray... tried⭐ #and gerard gets a very strong second place w hesitant alien #but. stomachaches? stage 4 fear of trying? all bangers #I'll admit that like lyrically it's not all that - edgy at best and generic at worse. but it's all so fucking earwormy. #the man would be such a pop genius if he wasn't committed to his niche #gerard IS the best solo lyricist though no competition there #miau⁴

Cause thing is even if tumblr tim stans think it they know damn well they don’t read enough to say it but tiktok tim (and batfam stans in general) carry that air of plausible deniability where it’s like….are you stupid (talks with certainty about things you don’t know) or stupid (you DID read it but have terrible comprehension) and why are you making it my problem either way

#and the second stupid isn’t like a we disagree on X thing btw #the second stupid is about shit like ‘tim is mistreated by DC’ #like if you’ve read even a fraction of each batfam members comics and came to the conclusion that tim is treated the WORST #it’s giving Taylor swift is a genius lyricist #I’m sorry the Taylor swift tim Drake comparisons are so funny #especially since it’s not just the two of them #any white mediocre person that blows up falls in line #it’s just the size of their fanbases and the collective delusion that makes them comparable #not delusion #but #someone said grading on a curve #that’s exactlyyyy how it is #like if u think tim is mistreated WHAT would you call how they treat Duke or Steph or cass or dare I say it Damian

I feel Like Alex’s lyrical genius is fairly obvious but his vocals are just underrated like just quick mention his high note at the end of sweet dreams TN ?! (https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtKCCFAAPjl/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== here combing in both) Deceased but also my man just casually lies on his back or crawls around on stage or violated the piano and still has no problem whatsoever with getting enough oxygen to deliver the songs perfectly his voice still sounds gorgeous even though he’s not standing up where other artists are already struggling with singing their songs just standing in front of the mic Alex just casually throws in a workout and Still delivers

And There are sooo many more instances

Just now considering his piano interludes during the 2023 UK tour like Alex has a vocal range that’s insane

Not Miles singing along 🥹🥹😭😭😭🫶🏽 also i adore how Alex starts dancing like a weird drunk uncle the second you take aways his guitar (or tambourine or piano) and also how he manages to always emit the energy of a 25 years old and a 50 year old man

#alex turner #genius #jools holland #tlsp #miles Kane #he’s one of the best singer of our generation and the best lyricist #and Miles is it on the guitar the way Matt is it on the drums

do y'all really like hozier THAT much cause i don't get it

#re: that one post about him and mitski being great but having annoying fans #i liked a handful of songs off his first album when it came out and i dont know anything past that album and im fine with that #like ive never in my life thought.. this guy is a genius this guy Gets something we don't #he's an incredibly average musican! like #what else could it be. he's hot as fuck too but all his fans are lesbians so ??? who is this man for #sorry his same fans also think taylor swift is a good lyricist so what do i expect 💀 ...sorry #but yeah mitski is a brilliant songwriter and hozier is just some irish guy in any case they make completely different music anyway #i ​wouldnt speak their names in the same breath for literally any reason... ppl be crazy

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 221/?

Half Man Half Biscuit - Stuck up a Hornbeam (2014)

"I'm so desolate, I'm so all alone.

I feel arthritic in every single bone.

I've got a mynah bird -

It does nothing but moan.

For you, I'd lose

My self-esteem;

For you, I'd lose

My self-esteem;

For Crewe, I'd use

Junction 16."

#favourite lyrics #half man half biscuit #stuck up a hornbeam #nigel blackwell #urge for offal #2014 #post punk #I'm admittedly late to the party with HMHB‚ despite being dimly aware of them for the last decade or two I'd never actually heard #any of their work until fairly recently‚ on a trip to a second hand record store where the owner was playing their (wonderfully titled) #2018 album No One Cares About Your Creative Hub So Get Your Fuckin' Hedge Cut. after chatting to him and laughing at the lyrics #i went home and looked them up and listened to a couple of albums all at once (as an aside‚ just going to record stores is honestly #a great way to discover music you haven't heard before‚ I've found several favourites this way) #Urge for Offal seems to be recommended by several critics as a good introduction to the band‚ with its guitar heavy pop punk #tight 3 minute songs and more up to date pop culture references (all of HMHB's back catalogue is bulging with wry references‚ jokes #and nods to bits of british culture‚ film‚ tv‚ history‚ music etc etc but as the band has been going since the mid 80s some of these lines #have drifted into obscurity for newer listeners. sure‚ i appreciate the Chigley drug parody but I'm weird‚ and idk how well known the #worlds of Trumptonshire are in 2023). regardless of accessibility‚ the band (and it's surprisingly difficult to find out who exactly is #writing their songs but some googling suggests lead singer and guitarist Blackwell is the key lyricist) #have a genius gift for witty juxtaposition of universal themes of love‚ loss and depression with hyper specific cultural illustration and #genuinely very funny jokes. the first time i heard this the 'for Crewe I'd use junction 16' line made me laugh out loud

There’s a plane leaving today I’ll be on

There’s this moment here right now, then it’s gone

Between hellos and goodbyes, I’m getting a better view

Of the beauty and the simple things and how simple things ring true

#my dad was a genius lyricist #these were lyrics originally written when I had to leave him behind back in 2009 #they really hit hard now

[bitseventimes]

can you explain your url please sorry if i'm dumb 😇

it's a Sufjan Stevens lyric from one of my favourite songs! there's so much to say about it, but I just woke up so, in short, the entire song is a metaphor for young homosexual love. Young Sufjan's best friend gets "bitten" by "a wasp" and as Sufjan teases him for it and ends up innocently kissing him, it gets him as well. I might be reading into it a bit too hard but to me the piece is able to really convey the fear, excitement and tenderness of queer love, and most importantly the bittersweet way it sticks with you into adulthood.

Also, as I do with most of Sufjan's music, I think it absolutely bangs. I just love it very very much

#i do recommend reading the lyrics and maybe a browse through the Genius page. this guy is a capital L Lyricist #anyway in very short gay sufjan song slaps etc
