How the fuck did he do it, his lyrics are so powerful I am not being ironic at all, he said he just pieced them together with fragments that just popped into his head. I don't know how to do it I have never written anything as evocative and piercing as those little fragments all over ITAOTS

I was about to give an example of what I mean but then I realised I could literally post any of the lines from Two Headed Boy pt 2 and it'd be sufficient. I don't understand poetry I don't understand how to put anything in words in a way that doesn't sound embarassing and sentimental.

>Jeff: Oh yeah, but I decided it's shit and put it aside. I go through this all the time, though. I'll have all this crap written and I think it's just shit so I'll discard it, and then I'll play a few things for friends and they'll say, "Oh, that's fine," and I'll say, "Oh, really? What about this? This one's really fucked up-- just tell me if it sucks..." And they'll say, "No, it's good!" And then I'm like, "God! I've got half a record done!" [laughs]
>At this point, Jeff goes into a long monologue describing some of the images and reciting some of the lyrics in the songs, which include a hermaphrodite girl and a boy whose consciousness shrinks to a small point and birds start being born out of his face. The lyrics are terrible and beautiful in the way so many of Jeff's lyrics are, but these are definitely a bit more story-like and disturbing than his usual fare. They have been edited out at Jeff's request.

He is as insecure as you are, you need to hear feedback from trustworthy people like he does from his friends

Pleb question right there.

>Ill At Home is a masterpiece. The guitars simulate drums? What do the lyrics talk about? How did you come up with this composition? Truly kakfian...
>Thank you. Yes, guitars do the percussion. The song is a hybrid of Kafka, Dostoevsky and Goncharov (the latter known only for a novel about someone who took a hundred pages or so to get out of bed:"Oblomov"). I suppose it tries to capture that feeling when the everything seems to be collapsing in upon you, no matter what you try and do to break out of it. I don't know why I did that one to be honest.

Could go on and on.

Plowing Into the Field of Love isn't bad at all, but I felt it was such a massive downgrade from You're Nothing I stopped caring about Iceage.
