I prefer lyrics in a foreign language to those in my own that don't make sense.
I have to say, if I think a writer is just stringing together nonsense -- and I have that feeling more than a little -- I feel cheated, like the guy/gal just doesn't care enough to put in the effort.
That said, I don't think the meaning has to come out and hit you over the head.
There are a lot of cryptic lyrics out there that can be
fun, interesting, and thought-provoking to take apart and try to make sense of.
But if you do that and you start getting the feeling that you're just being pulled along by the lyrical equivalent of a conversa-bot, who needs that?
I like this. In particular the part I added bold to. But I like the rest of it, too.
