Default what the hell is billy even singing about these days?

who can relate to these lyrics?

who is going to listen to Dorian and actually connect to it?

He just says Dorian pretty much a 100 times and that's the song.

I would say Siamese Dream was the last album he wrote from his "heart". With a couple of exceptions....Try, Try, Try...33...Tear..Crestfallen?

Are you serious? MCIS and Adore have some of his most personal writing.

The lyrics all sound like the random words you sing when you first start writing a song in order to establish the melody.

But then you're supposed to write actual lyrics

Saying Dorian 100x in the span of 3 minutes does not compute to the above.

I'd say notions of throwing in the towel seem to loom over the album. Whereas in 2000 he was tired of "fighting the good fight against the Britneys, etc" now he's resigned himself to writing a fully accessible, easily digestible pop album in a bid to get people's attention. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Hence the cynical, intentionally shitty lyrics.

"What do you want me to say? It's all gone bad." That's about as direct and honest as it gets on this one.

He'll probably hate this thing like no other in a few years' time.

Is that an actual quote of Billy's? If so, where is it from? Thanks.

which would make "bad" the better choice lyrically imo - so shocking gets the point across etc

i feel like a sweet companion mix could be made to this record just from songs that the tracks on here remind me of

lilian for dorian, now i'm actually bein reminded of flight tonight by avalanches just because of aforementioned "alright alright" lyric

only question is what's gonna stand-in for being beige - coldplay for the novelty? or friday i'm in love by the cure

serious decisions being made at the present time

wtf billy
I actually did connect to Dorian, oddly enough. It's one of the few songs I did connect to
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
