People may misunderstand my lyrics on a regular basis (or just not understand them at all), even when I think it's PAINFULLY clear what the song is about, but hey. At least I'm not Tori Amos.
#songwriting#tori amos#songwriters on tumblr#lyrics#cosmo gyres#this is NOT a hate post! i love tori amos <3#listening to 'boys for pele' at this very moment#and my goodness her lyrics are weird and opaque af#i love weird opaque lyrics. i should write more of them.#except... it seems my lyrics are already weird and opaque to many of my listeners -_-#someone listened to 'boy done good' and was completely surprised when i mentioned off-hand that it was about the 'me too' movement#and i was like... wait. i thought the lyrics to that one were REALLY obvious. are they... are they not?#anyway tori amos' lyrics are often on the bob dylan level to me#she can weave words together in such a startlingly original way#i envy that tbh. wish i had a little more of that ability /hearteyes
