I don't get it.

Yes, I do. I wish he would wear my ring.

No matter what they say I am still the king.
ahha but seriously, brand new has amazing, meaningful lyrics
max bemis (say anything) writes amazing metaphors in his music
i like bring me the horizon's lyrics because theyre honestly amusing
thrice is just lyrically amazing
same thing goes with crica survive

jesse lacey, max bemis, dustin kensrue, and anthony green should be considered gods compared to some of the bands these days

[chipdip18]

Conor Oberst
Sam Beam
Nick Torres

come to mind.

[bung]

Dylan, early ...Trail of Dead, TV on the Radio, the Velvet Underground (and the Beatles, obviously), the Hold Steady, Silver Jews, and Sonic Youth. Those are some of my favorites.

[kaycey]

the killers

[robat19]

3oh!3 have some pretty sick lyrics.

[perfectstranger]

boysetsfire

[cereal4life]

2Pac

[murrich]

Not the best but I enjoy Simon and Garunkel's lyrics a lot.

[TheZeroKid]

Jesse Lacey (Brand New), Tomas Kalnoky (Streetlight Manifesto), Casey Crescenzo (The Dear Hunter), and Dustin Kensrue (Thrice) amaze me again and again every time any of the respective bands come out with an album and I listen to and read the lyrics.
