Song Lyrics

I just do not understand song lyrics these days.

Maybe I'm the only one or I just don't understand the poignant social mores or maybe they mean absolutely nothing at all or maybe it's actually art.

So I did some research (aka nothing) and there are some serious flaws in the lyrics. Let's explore shall we:

Exhibit A. Katy Perry's "Roar"


I got the eye of the tiger *seriously, give the tiger it's eye back. like thats so rude.

a fighter *thats kidnapping guys

dancing through the fire *thats not recommended by the department of health and safety


Cause I am a champion *french mushroom

and you’re gonna hear me roar 


Louder, louder than a lion *how will your quantitatively measure that?


Cause I am a champion 

and you’re gonna hear me roar


Oh oh oh oh oh oh * waiting for the roar


Oh oh oh oh oh oh *still waiting for the roar


Oh oh oh oh oh oh *im sorry that wasnt a roar that was backwards Santa

Exhibit B. Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop"

So la da di da di *someone sat on a keyboard and was too lazy to hit backspace

We like to party *well what else rhyme with dee? We like to: larty, carty, farty, charty, marty...walmarty

Dancing with Miley

Doing whatever we want *what we say to our parents

This is our house

This is our rules *what your parents say back

We can't stop. *this is a serious condition guys. It's called hyperhannahmontanieosis. There is no cure. 1 Americans is affected each year.

Exhibit C. Lorde's "Royals"


And we'll never be royals (royals). *duh. ever heard of Prince Willy and Kate Middly. 

It don't run in our blood,*well at least check ancestry.com
That kind of lux just ain't for us. *i dont know what lux is but i can only assume its some kind of beanie baby
We crave a different kind of buzz.*lightyear
Let me be your ruler (ruler),*like 30 cm or like a metre stick?
You can call me queen Bee *yah, beyonce aint so cool with that.
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule. *can you please finish your sentence thats like super distracting
Let me live that fantasy *football
