I love lyrics that…   slowly bleed emotion and vitality, build an immunity to the warped society that only human souls can suffer, and jump off the page to the blank space around them to open new doors. I love lyrics that build a staircase and walk to the top of it and shout that nothing can stand in between emotion and numbness, for numbness is an emotion itself. That nothing can stand in between heaven and hell because earth is pretty much heaven and hell summed up into one big warped, disgusting explosion of derogatory terms, fire, pain, happiness, gratefulness and excruciating confusion all submerged and stored into one monstrosity of a capsule ready to explode into a million pieces at any given moment. I love lyrics that explain why devastating accounts happen and why monsters hide under every child’s bed and why boys like girls but girls pretend not to like boys when they really do and why you don’t want to lock yourself inside of lithium and why people die and some people don’t and why the media wants everyone to be the same and why real feelings and pain matter and why we should actually listen to real music to help us cope with our hurt and loss. I love lyrics that make sense and don’t talk about sex and money and hoes. I love lyrics that I can relate to and that send shivers up my spine and make tears lick my eyes with their awe and individuality. I love lyrics that show evidence that the lyricist is a musician and not a stripper. I love lyrics that are really just pages that people steal from my diary and put into their own words. I love lyrics that I can shout from my balcony at three in the morning and not be ashamed to say, because these lyrics are genuine morsels of reality that aren’t derogative or meaningless. I love lyrics that Amy lee writes. I love lyrics from Evanescence. My inspiration<3
