One song that I think has “cool” writing in it would be “Liar, Liar” by A Fine Frenzy. The lyrics were written by the singer Alison Sudol. The song is written about a person who was a liar, a deceiver, and just an all around poo poo. Here are the lyrics to the first half or so of the song:
“liar liar,
you’re such a great big liar
with the tallest tales
that I have ever heard
fire fire,
you set my soul on fire
laughing in the corner as it burns
right between the ribs
it’s sinking in
oh oh,
the sirens sang so sweet
and watched the sailors going down
oh oh, you talk to me in siren song,
yeah, anyone would drown
anyone would drown
sick and tired
of this mad desire
fluttering inside me like a hawk
wire wire,
you’ve got my hands on wires
well, heaven help you
when I get them off
right between the ribs
you’ll feel it then”
What I love about the writing in this song are the emotions that it plays on the listener. Everyone has dealt with a liar in their life at some point, so everyone can relate to this. My favorite part about this writing is how she starts the song by describing how this person made her feel really bad, so bad that she felt a burning sensation between her ribs. However, as the writing progresses she says that if she ever gets the chance she wants to punch this person in the chest so that they are the one who feels the pain between the ribs. That is just so cool to me.

I love A Fine Frenzy! I agree with you, this song evokes a lot of images to portray emotion.
Oh good, I am glad that there are some more A Fine Frenzy fans out there. I absolutely love this band, mainly because of how great the lyrics to their songs are. Every song seems to have a story behind it and can be interpreted by the listener in a way that applies to them.
