Do you pay attention to the words?

Who here reads the lyrics of death metal bands and who here knows the name of the songs or just puts a handful of tracks on mixes without paying attention to the details?

I dont read em but i do know the song names.

i find it really amusing to read along to lord worm era cryptopsy songs.
i know all the song names too..

"Capricornus rex in tenebris I long to feel the dark caress of your cloven hooves, I seek the loving warmth of your anus as I place my worshopful lips about your teats" (crown of horns)

what i hear:

"Capricornus rex in tenebris I long -breh- dark caress of your cloven hooves, seek the loving warmth of your anus I place my worshopful lips about your teeeeeaaaaah"

but its real cool when you know what he's saying haha

The average DM band is full of people who couldn't write anything meaningful if they were held at gunpoint. Most death metal lyrics I ignore. There's only so many times my poor old mother can be damned.

atheist have awesome lyrics

I AM MY OWN SELF RULER
I NEED NOT ANY MINISTRY
I SEE OUR MUSIC SCARES YOU

I do with most everything I listen to. A little slacking in the more extreme metal department, but sometime when I'm bored I'll look them over. That's why I decided I liked Death more than just a song or two. Some of the lyrics (don't ask me to get specific) are pretty good.
I think because I like to write lyrics and like to have a broad range of subjects to write about and styles to try I pay more attention to any lyrics.

I don't pay attention to lyrics of any music. I'm so driven by guitars and drums, the lyrics are just there to aid the music, but if I listen to a particular song long enough, I eventually subconsciously know the lyrics.

That's probably why I started listening to Melodic DM, because usually you can somewhat make up the lyrics and sometimes there not so bad....but yeah, a lot of DM lyrics are a joke...the best lyrics come from within your mind.

I tend to like reading death metal lyrics, especially ones like Cannibal Corpse's. I think it's for similar reasons that I like the Friday the 13th movies and other such ridiculous "scary" things.

Don't ask me why I did that. It's been a rough couple days. It took me 4 tries to spell wally's g/f's name right. I'm so sorry! Yeah, we's tight.

i only listen if it really sticks out to me, i like to think of vocals as another instrument rather than lyrics. if a singer punctuates: the, right' rythem it will sound awesome if he recited the instruction manual for a paper shredder

Dying Fetus and Misery Index lyrics always struck a chord with me. Also, later Deicide are pretty good.

I can care less about lyrical value. My favorite lyrical lines are like...

KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY
TOTAL DISGRACE
THE YOUNGER ONES FIRST
NO BODY MIIIINNNNDSSSS!!!

TEACHER CAUGHT ME MASTURBATING UNDERNEATH MY DESK

THAT DIRTY LITTLE BITCH GOT ME POOSIOOOOONEEDD!!

DRUNKEN WOMEN, DRUNKEN MEN SHOW THEIR HANDS FOR FUCKING ARSE

THE SHOW IS OVER, KIDS ARE GONE, AND FUCKING PEOPLE LAY ALONE.

NOW YOU KNOW, THE SHOE WAS GOOD, HEAVY METAL.

The best lyrics though in any metal band ever goto Sabbat (UK)
http://www.darklyrics.com/lyrics/sa...esterday.html#1
Wow.

Pestilence and Monstrosity have some cool ones too.

I will usually listen to an album heaps before I look at lyrics - after a buy a CD, I sit down with the booklet and follow through it. Usually I dont bother with DM lyrics because they are generally shit. Impaled have really good lyrics though.
I read along with more power metal type lyrics, they are better, easier to understand and fun to sing along with.


HEAVY METAL
OR NO METAL AT ALL
WIMPS AND POSERS, LEAVE THE HALL!

Most death metal bands are not relateable to me. Well the really gorey ones like cannibal corpse or something, I'm screwed up and all but I'm no rapist or serial killer. But no death metal lyrics mean nothing to me, it's all about the music itself. I realate more to Slayer (they are not death metal as a lot of ignorant people think), not the violent shit but the anti-christian stuff.

I'll usually have a read when I first buy the CD. Gore lyrics are hilarious. I usually know the song names, and I get to know the lyrics if you can hear them properly - I can't understand anything Lord Worm says. Vocals aren't important for me at all.
