Does lyrical content sometimes make a song intolerable to you?

[Urban breed]

Personally I cannot stand listening to any song touching the subject of child abuse. No matter what point the author is pushing. No matter the stance. It always makes me sick to my stomach.

[Lamia]

Well it depends on wich way the author is talking about this maltreatment. I got used to, that this world isn´t just brave and flowery. In lyrics I can´t stand embellished humiliation or any ideas of right-wing extremism. And even if suicide is not criminal, but I don´t like songs in wich they tell me, how great it is to die, however honourable the reasons might be.

I agree, certain subjects makes me hate those songs. like Child abuse. why sing about that makes other ppl suffer. they have to think about those persons that has been experience such things.

If it's something ridiculous, like worshipping the devil or something like that.

However, dark subjects have always drawn me. I think the reason people "like" to write about their own and hear about others' pain/suffering/what-have-you is the cathartic nature of it and the "you're not alone" message it sends. Pain is part of the human condition, so I find it perfectly natural that people write about it. Then again, maybe I'm just twisted. :b

Hey lady_space!
Excuse me, but that doesn´t make sense to me.
You were talking about that writing about other´s pain, suffering and it´s carthatic nature for mankind.

And you still think worshipping higher spirits is ridiculous?


A lot of ppl appreciate the redemptive character of believing in gods, demons or even destiny. So they can blame them for their faults and failure.

I didn't say "higher spirits"... I'm talking about lyrics by bands like Deicide... some black metal stuff, etc. I personally find all the "hail Satan" stuff ridiculous. Sorry if I offended you by saying so, but that's my take on it.

Awww...no need to feel sorry, dear. For you havn´t offended me.
I understood what you were trying to say and I was just curious, because you seem to find only satanic believes ridiculous. NOthing more :)
