I hear this song sounding a lot like Tool or A perfect circle.
But yeah I agree.
I hate how lyrics about heartache or death are so popular when they all mean nothing and have the same story behind it.
I search for something unique when I write.
Do they mean nothing? Simply because the majority of songs are about that, does not mean they are meaningless. Some people are just better at writing those type of songs, and I really am not going to criticize someone if they make an amazing song, just because there have been so many like that. I love songs w/ unique messages/lyrics, but in the end, melody plays the biggest role. The bottom line (generally speaking) is:
great/unique lyrics + good melody = good song
bad lyrics + good melody = good song
great lyrics + bad melody = bad song
bad lyrics + bad melody = bad song
I do like your lyrics, I'd prefer to hear them in context though, being sung.
