i set out to share some examples of inexplicable lyrics.
and to give you a prize if you can defend any of them.
i had this lyric in mind as a launch point:
"just like the ocean under the moon, it's the same as the emotion that i get from you, you got the kinda love that can be so smooth, give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it"

thankfully, i have managed not to be triggered by your extremely true analysis of S-K's Weaker Moments in Songwriting. hell, god is a number is so bad that even THEY make fun of it. and I always thought of "Get Up" as like their weird Abstract Art Piece, what with the casual reference of Tunic and what not. I also remember when they debuted on Conan, and there was this whole to-do about what song they would play - that they had to play Step Aside because the other songs were just too political. ack.
also, a big -1 for referencing the lyrics of one of the more annoying earworms to be in constant lite-fm heavy rotation for the last ten years in a fucking row. ugh, rob thomas. with horns. shoot me.

All hands on the bad one is hands-down my least fave S-K album.

1) i've never liked 'get up' at all; like you're saying, it's nonsensical but in a boring way, and the music i find kind of annoying. cool video, though.
2) to try and win the in-defense-of-bad-lyrics prize - i don't take issue with 'far away' in the same way: the song seems like it's about trying to make sense of 9/11 in the very-immediate aftermath, from a more-or-less average person who has no direct connection to the event and hasn't yet developed an analytical framework to deal with it; i feel like that mix of vague political confusion and personal fear is appropriate to that.
that said, i don't really like that song, either.
