Members rsadasiv Posted December 29, 2012 Members Share Posted December 29, 2012 On Listening To Nine Inch Nails Angst is just awkward, an anxious state A misplaced foot and Germanic A Full of fear and trembling and emotions displaced A Mitteleuropa mark from a time and a place Aloha is Hawaiian and thus hard to say Too many vowels, they get in your way You need a uke or a slack key guitar The far northern topics is where you are A drone doesn't work if it's strictly alone It must be detuned with a beat in its own Overtones and modes and the root which is home It's a solid yet fragile harmonic zone Distortion distortion piled on top Bitcrushed or boogex or amps that won't stop Communist industry, factory grind The whine of a saw on the grate of your mind Now, off to go ski - happy New Year!

Members Chicken Monkey Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 "The far northern topics is where you are" Do you mean "tropics", or is there a singular/plural thing going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rsadasiv Posted December 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 I don't think I can edit it on my phone, but yeah, tropics. Either way, that's a weak line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rsadasiv Posted December 30, 2012 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 The fruits of his labor Are taken from the worker The profit and the ease Are taken by another The specter in my dreams Looks just like my father The power of the message Makes you just like any other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members oldgitplayer Posted December 30, 2012 Members Share Posted December 30, 2012 This is impressive writing. The metamorphosis from the original to the shortened lyric is great. I'm impressed by the way the meaning is retained in an abbreviated form. Leaving meaning aside for the moment, I couldn't help but notice the following possibility lyric-wise (in a totally not taking itself seriously sorta way):I feel angst War between the classes I feel gangsta Wanna {censored} my mother I feel djangsta I lost my archtop But underneath your solid body I'll believe your hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
