I would honestly love to see Veeky Forums discuss the lyrics from the new Death Grips album. I for one cannot make any sense of these. Can you Veeky Forums?

yeah idk bro but i feel yoou
death grips is the first cyberpunk band
Ian Rivera
stefans lyrics are nonsensical you should know this by now
Brayden Phillips
But there's obviously something to do with him forging something with a hammer and then saying that human flesh is weak, implying that he's creating something greater.
Justin Bennett
rock n roll expresses emotion. emotion has no logic.
Nolan Edwards
They're not supposed to make any sense. Exmilitary and maybe Money Store are the only albums where you can actually make sense of things. Everything else is purposely confusing as fuck.
Charles Hall
no they aren't. stay on reddit or stick to dr seuss threads that song is about how much his fans suck their dicks. talk about NOTM's lyrics if you want a more interesting discussion
Zachary Fisher
>nonsensical >They're not supposed to make any sense. >purposely confusing as fuck this is my first time on Veeky Forums and people say this board is the most intelligent, was I being trolled? if you genuinely think his lyrics are nonsensical and "purposely confusing" then you need to start reading
Eli Phillips
>that song is about how much his fans suck their dicks
Explain.
Jose Sanchez
>analyzing lyrics
fucking retards all of you.
Nathan Robinson
The majority of DGs songs are about its own music and the effect it has on people. It's basically incredibly cryptic braggadocio comprised of violent metaphors, vulgarity, and west-coast slang. This song is about the punishment that DG fans both endure and enjoy from the band on a regular basis.
Jaxson Lewis
>explain do you speak english? just read the lyrics and look up the words you don't get because this is one of their most straight forward tracks lyrically on the album
although i've been following them intensely since exmilitary so i'm a little more familiar with the masochistic relationship they have with their fanbase so it might not be as obvious to someone who is a casual listener but you browse Veeky Forums you shouldnt be having any problems with this
just read the hook
Brandon Lewis
You sound like someone who was told this rather than actually came to a conclusion.
Tyler Phillips
>his first time on lit >judges the board according to one single post
Matthew Richardson
I couldn't keep myself from hearing these words spoken in the vocalist's retard moans and had to stop.
Tyler Howard
It's just people who aren't really familiar with the band or Stefan's lyrics but still feel entitled to voice their opinion on them for whatever reason. The lyrics are in the vein of imagist poetry, little direct narrative but different swells evoking feelings of paranoia, obsession, depravity, etc.
Carson Ross
they don't mean anything. it's nonsensical stopped caring abt the band when /mu/ went full on autism and examined every word stefan wrote.
William Allen
Except for a few people this board is just as retarded as all the others
Evan Williams
Beware was their only good song.
Caleb Foster
Most of their songs are good songs
Dylan Lopez
If you want to talk about NOTM, I found out that Stefan says "My shadow Bernays voila" in Voila. Edward Bernays is a nephew of Sigmund Freud and is practically a pioneer in crowd psychology and propaganda.
When this is taken into account one could understand another line in the song: "My propa voila shadow ganda".
Luis Young
high school is thataway, everybody knows who Bernays is
Colton Roberts
Thanks.
Adam Perez
dadaist my friend dont make attempt to understad that which cannot b understood by u nor me

>meme grips
Daniel Davis
Death Grips are the Cormac McCarthy of /mu/. Actually quite good, but memed into oblivion because they have an edgy bent and are not quite obscure enough
Benjamin Ramirez
>Corncob Tortillas YeCarthy >Actually quite good
Ryan Ramirez
end your own life as soon as possible
Jordan Torres
I like Death Grips, but the lyrics only have a meme value.
Nolan Martinez
The lyrics are just his stream of consciousness coupled with maybe some odd or notable phrases he has jotted down during the day. I would put money on it that he gets fucked up on booze and or drugs and just writes whatever he feels like, occasionally while the other two make weird sounds with their instruments also.
He's going more for the imagery of the words used in conjunction with each other rather than putting together a coherent sentence that actually says something.
It's like a meme but in the form of lyrics.
There is no ''hidden'' message or profound meaning.
Evan Scott
> Oh, bitch try to creep like ivy > Oh, now ivy don’t like me
I had to laugh when I heard this. I think he's specifically talking about /mu/ there.
Xavier Ramirez
>yecarthy >good
lmao @ ur life
Easton Hughes
Why /mu/ is so shit?
Why??
Andrew Turner
This. Stefan does a lot of drugs. He is eclectic and influenced by what most would consider obscure, and that shows in his lyrics and references, but it's abstract beyond linear coherence.
I can almost guarantee you at least half of his shit is freestyled. He isn't telling you a story. Others are obviously prewritten and thought out, but the abstract nature remains.
Trying to objectify the lyrics with a linear message is doing his work a disservice. his work is purposefully incoherent and indecipherable and you're trying to reduce it to some 2deep4u digestible dribble that he's obviously trying to avoid
Mason Carter
Because they call things ''genius'' and ''masterpieces'' even though they've listened to a small amount of albums and have no idea what either of those things actually mean. The majority of /mu/ is morons who don't know enough about music to make an informed judgement.
There was a thread the other day where some guy tried to argue that Memeye West lyrics were comparable in greatness to Milton's Paradise Lost in its entirety... I'm not joking
It's the same reason why Veeky Forums is terrible now also. It was flooded by fucking pseuds from Tumblr and Reddit who only come here to post in the ''show a pic of your collection'' threads.
Josiah Hernandez
> from tumblr and reddit
I don't get this meme. I've been on Veeky Forums, reddit and tumblr for years. The majortiy of people on every of these sides is fucking retarded. Tumblr and Reddit didn't invent retarded people. Well, to some degree but that isn't the point.
Austin Parker
We have a very special and unique brand of retardation here at Veeky Forums and lately it's been tainted by tumblr neurodegeneration and reddit m'retardation to an increasingly noticeable degree
James Ward
I believe you
I saw retarded saying that Beethoven was a hack.
I hate /mu/ so much...
Elijah Wright
>I'm a god >hurry up with my damn massage
Beats Shakespeare, sure as shit
Brandon Wilson
who are Skinny Puppy, Mr. Trebek?
Benjamin Cooper
i have the same feeling, but you can hear a clear message in many of his songs. i think that take on aesthetics is something often found in experimental poetry, though.
Gavin Clark
I agree with this 100%
Luke Rogers
it's not meant for anybody but stefan himself. it's his own mind maze which he's travelling through where the words and phrases have a specific meaning to himself but to anybody else it will either be gotten somewhat, intepreted by their own selves or viewed as jibberish. we all have our own schizophrenic truth that nobody will ever understand, though some will come close.
Matthew Smith
what the fuck is /mu/ doing here
fuck off you underage faggots
Brandon Cooper
U m m excuse me but your dumb and /mu/ is glorious please stay out of our boards.
Parker Powell
honestly, it sounds pretty try-hard and generic

You're thinking on the surface level. You're thinking, "If Kanye says something that comes across as clever or insightful, it's deep." But that's such a pre-modern way to look at art. The way he interacts with the listener, building and subverting metamusical expectations, commenting on multiple metamusical, sociopolitical and personal subjects with single lines is brilliant. What work has played jump rope with the line between irony and sincerity as effectively as Yeezus? From the opening seconds of On Sight, to the chorus of I Am A God, to the final spoken sample of Bound 2, no other work of any medium has worked with such an ambiguity of awareness of its context. I'm not saying Yeezus is brilliant because it showcases great technical compositional proficiency or especially novel aesthetic innovations (though autotuned Chief Keef, Justin Vernon, '80s guitars and trap beats have never been fused so artfully), I'm saying its ability to project outwardly from itself and work in a space so self-aware (yet somehow sometimes simultaneously ham-handedly solipsistic) that it shatters any post-post-modern dichotomy between affectation and sincerity sets it apart from other works of art. The whole album skips back and forth over the "is this dude serious?" line, only for Bound 2 to answer with a resounding "we have no fucking clue." Where the recent metamodernists have decided that continual sinusoidal oscillation between critical points of intense sincerity and irony is a valid solution to the nihilism inherent in extreme postmodernity, Kanye instead manipulates for the oscillation of the listener's perception rather than affecting a self-defeatingl y earnest oscillation of himself. In this way, Yeezus can be seen as a work of meta-metamodernism. To call the album "ahead of its time" would be a vast understatement.

Each track in TMS is about a different drug.
t. never cared about the lyrics on other albums
