I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In both pop and disco, the meaning of the lyrics is not too important. I have nothing I feel I particularly want to say.
I don't like to get too specific about lyrics. It places limitations on them, and spoils the listeners' interpretation.
The lyrics are constructed as empirically as the music. I don't set out to say anything very important.
A lot of the lyrical ideas do have a lot of meaning in a way, although it is somewhat abstracted.
When I look at the arc of my career, my focus is on lyricism, right? I own that.
Poetry, first and foremost, is the lyric. It's the music.
That is what intrigues me; songwriting and song structure and expression.
Most lyric poetry is about love, whether yearned after, fulfilled, or wistfully regretted; what isn't tends to consist of laments and cris du coeur over this, that, and the other.
Even if I'm writing music, it's with a lyric in mind, to communicate some kind of feeling.
Every single lyric I've ever written I meant.
