So, as I've already said in the Terria thread, I'm french and not good enough in english to understand everything by ear, and even when reading the booklet, as song lyrics often are weird, or a transcription of the authors feelings and thougts, it's hard for me to understand the 'true' meaning of the lyrics.
For me, lyrics, or should I say the voice, is another instrument, along guitar, bass, etc etc, 'just' a really weird and versatyl instrument.
There's also something strange, it's that a lot of people here in France listen to english music, but I'm sure 70% of them don't understand what is said.
And for some reason, I don't like french songs that much (well moreover we don't have so many great bands, I'm sure there are some (at least a few one) but I don't know them). I don't really know why, maybe I simply prefer to listen to the music than to have to think about what is said.
For example I remember reading on a board a guy talking about Paparoach. There was a war on the board, with pro-nu-metal and anti-nu-metal and blah, and the guy replied to the anti-nu-metal that it would be good if he shut his mouth cuz' Paparoach (and their lyrics) had been really important for him at a bad period of his life.Of course I understand some parts, I can udnerstand the global feeling of the lyrics, but it looks loke I prefer not to know more.
So I'd like to know what you all think of that, if you care or not, iand if yes or not if it's partly because of your native langage.
And as I'm posting this in the DT discussion, I also wanted to know if there's some lyrics in Devin's work that I should pay more attention to.
