figurative lyrics.

i gotta appreciate music first and foremost, but something about poetic lyrics gives music so much more power. we most often fall in love with songs that we consider the truth, and lately i've been diggin the alternative/folk/rock lyrics. unlike what some people may call "conscious hip-hop," alternative songs are much more than a set of truthful verses. the verses are deeper, using metaphors, rather than massive amounts of similes. Crazy that the truth can be described and interpreted in so many different ways, and appeal to others though they may not have experienced the same things. lyricists who convey their message so well and so beautifully, that everyone can share compassion over what they're feeling. what i mean is, its kinda funny how you can describe your emotions in a way that others who do not feel them with you, can. 

i love these lyrics and this song. its called "heavy" by holly brook. i feel her emotion, its so intense.

Now i've come to cry 
Shed your skin to rest my naked eye 
And criticize 
All that i implore 
Seems to be one foot outside that door 
Coming between me and waking 

Underneath the corset of your mystery 
Piece by piece undress you from your history 
I'm sleeping with seclusion in sweet disarray 

You can go heavy on me 
And i will not weigh you down, down, down 
You can be steady and clean 
I can take it 
Heavy on me 
And i will not weigh you down 

Born unto this pride 
Silence is something you can't hide 
You can't deny...us 
Nothing has been said 
Yet so many words have filled my head 
Now they completely surround me 

Tie the lines of honest conductivity 
Caught between the center of our gravity 
I don't have that much time to burn anymore
