Intelligent Lyrics.

Right now I’m listening to ‘Camisado’ by Panic at the disco. It always makes me think. Its basically telling Ryan Ross’ childhood (and in a way Brendon’s) through the song.

Anything by Chris Cornell(Temple of The Dog,Soundgarden,Audioslave) gets you thinking. Or Alice in Chains. Those are all life changing bands. : ] Also a lot of Neil Young’s songs are great!

There’s a lot, you just have to listen and write them down when you hear em. I have a huuuge collection of lyrics I’ve heard that just sounded so ill.

To give an example, write now I’m listening to “Lucy”, and just heard the line: Look, I’ve never had a dream in my life. Cause a dream is what you wanna do but still haven’t pursued. I knew what I wanted, and did it till it was done, so I’ve been the dream that I wanted to be since day one.

See what I mean?

Dondante by My Morning Jacket:

In A Dream I Saw You Walkin - Like A Kid Alive And Talkin - That Was You. In The Classroom You Were Teachin - On The Streets You Were Policing That Was You. To The One I Now Know Most - I Will Tell Them Of Your Ghost Like A Thing -

That Never, Ever Was.

And All That Ever Mattered Will Some Day Turn Back To Batter Like A Joke. Behind Thin Walls You Hid Your Feelins - Take Four Legs To Make A Ceilin Like A Thing.

In A Dream I Saw You Walkin, With Your Friends Alive And Talking - That Was You. Well I Saw It In Your Movement - And Even Though You Never Knew It - Well, I Knew,

Just How Sweet It Could Be - If You’d Never Left These Streets.

You Had Me Worried! So Worried - That This Would Last… But Now I’m Learning - Learning That This Will Pass…

your ghost like a thing that never ever was a ceiling like a thing
