Could you PLEASE explain to me what that "metaphor" was for? Falling into sky and time passing by makes me want to vomit...
It's a metaphor describing her state of mind, which is alluded to throughout the entire song, of the speaker feeling abjectedly lost.
If you are listening to music for the quality of music you should check out August Burns Red. They have some of the best lyrics I've ever heard and their songs are very inspirational. Hopefull you'll be able to get over the metalcore aspect haha.
"In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth When the land was swamp and caves were home In an age when prize possession was fire To search for landscapes men would roam."
Seriously, Im pretty sure that dinosaurs died off millions of years before man discovered fire...

I was going to respond by pointing out that the song is inspired by a movie of the same name.
But then I realized that there are no dinosaurs in that movie.
Pretty much anything with Bruno Mars. That one about not wanting to do anything all day makes me want to shoot myself, honestly I could write a better song than that, and it was written by someone who's job is writing that crap >_<.
DAE not give a flying fuck about lyrics? I suppose it depends on how you experience songs. I get high off the melodies regardless of what I think about the lyrics. I'll even sing along to those same stupid lyrics because it all sounds really damn good.
sure they're retarded but you could kinda see what they were saying.
Not at all. None of that had anything to do with magic or miracles. Those guys are stupid.
Sean Paul, I think. But for all I know he could be singing the greatest lyrics ever, but I can't understand him because he speaks his own damn language.
Does anyone out there share my sentiment?! Or am I just insane and sad?
I share your sentiment. I am a songwriter who focuses heavily on lyrics. Since I got into serious lyric-writing, I have trouble listening to a lot of popular music. I even struggle with a lot of stuff that I used to love.
Doesn't take a genius to figure that 90% of the things she sings about in that video are NOT ironic at all. It's annoying. I kind of like the song as it throws me back to the 90s so it's got that nostalgia factor, but I can't listen to it without thinking "oh my god you fuckin stupid bitch!!!!!"
Anything by Soulja Boy just fucking annoys the hell out of me but especially this song. He received so much flak for this song on his twitter that he went and got rid of it. He eventually brought it back only to post pictures of his money.
