I love this guy so much that no matter how senseless his songs are, I still hum and sing my heart out with him on the mp3 player. I love his rhyming and rapping-like singing that I can stand playing his tunes over and over again for a day. However, sometimes, some of his music are simply senseless, in all sense of the word, yeah. Take this stanza from his song "Flying My Guilt Over a Quilt", for example.
Drain the veins in my head
Clean out the reds in my eyes to get by
Security lines, the x-ray machine
Pretend you don't know me so well
I wont tell if you lie
Cry 'cause your droughts been brought up
Drinkin' 'cause you're lookin so good in your Starbuck's cup
I complain for the company that I keep
The window's for sleeping
Rearrange well I'm nobody well who's laughing now?
We'll I don't exactly know if he's using some metaphors, analogies, or any other kind of rhetorics. But no matter how hard I try to analyse, examine and dissect the lyrics, I can't understand why those lines are included in the song in the first place. Perhaps I should ask Jason M himself to explain why he wrote such things. Does anyone of you guys knows his Facebook account?
