I did notice in this song that he maybe making reference to when he heard about Cobain's death? Wasn't he on a tour bus going to Texas? I seem to remember that from his 2005 online diary.

Halfway to Texas, or suicide
I left my body on the road
And no-no-nobody ever sold us
On any reason left to lie
Or any morning that I could leave
Or leave behind
......
That's one of the few coherent ones. There are some good melodies on that record, but I can't help but cringe when I hear lines like:

Lark in thy view
Glow worms spin sails for thy breath
Our faeries fairest ship sends a most oft regret
The virgin ground pounds proud hearts to transience
As sadness is one
A faeries strength is in the murk
Yet tending by firsts
Just who abides the melancholic kiss


It's just the most pretentious shit ever.

Hopefully all these heavy songs means the upcoming album is metalish.

Remember back in the day when you could connect with Billy's lyrics and have an emotional and visceral reaction to the heartbreak and traumatizing experiences he went through?


Now it's digging through Billy's layers of flowery prose and pretentious artschool poetry about the time the lady at Starbucks screwed up his unicorn frappuccino because they didn't add extra drizzle he ordered.

100%

Billy has never been my favorite lyricist, but at least there were songs I could relate to and it didn’t feel like he was composing with a thesaurus for the sake of being pretentious.

The image SP posted to Twitter does list JA as a "very special guest" as opposed to a co-headliner
