There's a reason I say that understanding is blind
Hmm...
When I write lyrics I don't do it so others will understand what I mean, I do it so others can find a meaning in it for themselves. Why should other people concern themselves with what I am feeling at that time?
You apply your own meaning to a song, that is what I believe is the purpose of it. An artist can't tell someone what to feel about their work.
I will agree that most lyrics, especially nowadays, are shit, but if it can create some kind of emotion in someone, then it has done it's job.
