Not to turn this into another ATS vs Nu-Metal discussion, but Meteora WAS pop. Granted, it was a lot tuffer and screamy than most pop, but 3 minute songs with simple lyrics and catchy choruses? Very definition of pop.
And here is the first comment for this song that is terrible. I knew it was only a matter of time. I'll go get the cookies out of the oven I made for you for making such a brilliant post.
I'm still not sure how much I like Mike in this song, the lyrics are wonderful and something about it is very calming, but Mike goin reggaeton on me... I'm not sure how much I like that. But, it is an amazing piece and I think it will grow on me considerably once the whole album drops.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that during the "sitting in an empty room" part. Reminded me a lot of the slower Beatles' songs.
Yeah This is not the end / this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every remission Once you listen to the tone in a violent rhythm And all the words sound steady So nobody forget em Yeah Like fist flying up in the air Like we’re holding on to something that’s invisible there Cuz we’re living at the mercy of a painted riviere? Until we get it / forget it / let it all disappear Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It’s out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It’s hard to let you go I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven’t got Sitting in any empty room Trying to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn’t so I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven’t got What was that when I thought it was done I thought it felt right but the right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm Trying to figure out what it’s like moving on And I don’t even know what kind of things I said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead So I’m picking up the pieces / where to begin That hardest part of that is starting again All I want to do is trade this life for something new Holding on what I haven’t got I’m holding on to what I haven’t got Holding on to what I haven’t got
If Meteora is overproduced, then Reanimation is double-overproduced (that's not even a word, but who cares)...
