You know...people say bands are Emo by their lyrics. Well lets compare!
Leftover Crack - Atheist Anthem
"From high up on yer crucifix You preach about my triple 6 You spit
about my this and that And yank away yer welcome mat With a coupon
jesus christ will save So don't you christians misbehave 'cuz santa
makes the list himself And he's rotting on the warehouse shelf" Oh all
right, that's pretty good
That looks umm...worse on Metallica's side. Lets do 2 more bands shall we?
Metallica - One
"Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death Oh Please God,wake Me Now the World
Is Gone I'm Just One Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death
Oh Please God Help Me"
Thursday - Understanding In A Car Crash
"Splintered piece of glass falls, in the seat, gets caught These broken
windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost In trying so hard
to look away from you we followed white lines to the sunset I crash my
car everyday the same way "
Johnny Cash - Hurt
" I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything"
The Point is...you try to seclude Emo/Hardcore bands because they have
"Screamers" when you don't realize you in fact are listening to more
Emoish music then we/they are.
