Terror: “There’s More To Lyrics Than How Innovative Of A Wordsmith You May Or May Not Be”
An unspecified member of Terror hit the bands Twitter recently to share the following thoughts on lyrical content:
“Never let someone tell you simple, to-the-point lyrics about brotherhood lack substance just because they’re not cryptic poems. There’s more to lyrics than how innovative of a wordsmith you may or may not be. It’s the passion behind them that shines through.”
In addition to a new 7″ for their track “Hard Lessons” the band have plans to release their new album “Live By The Code” in the nearing months.

Don’t hate because your vocabulary consists of 100 words and you can write for shit. Typical.
*can’t
Booty Smell Good Doe
“I WANT TO SEE YOU SUCK HIS DIIIIIIIICK!”
“I KNOW YOU LOVE IT BITCH!!!”
Even Dr. Seuss has a built in audience.
Gimme a break, this bands lyrics are as simple-minded as country lyrics.
“Stick tight, stick tight, I stick tight to my friends, stick tight…”
Shit, how do other bands compete with lyrics like those?
The more these guys communicate with the outside world, the less likeable they are.
Really? because I find that wordsmiths generally write better music, tired of all the fucking kids in my school who listen to woka flokka or 2chainz, at least gain a good taste in hip hop, like Kendrick Lamar or Death Grips who are both great lyricists.
well, that’s what most kids do, listen to shit.
nailed it
I like terrors music nothing wrong with to the point lyrics. The only thing I have to pick at is the front-mans choice of bands to attack. The ghost inside is a decent band why not attack some shit pop artist? At least the ghost inside is playing some sort of hardcore/metal.
Again, because the dude is a hater. The dude hate’s on anything that better than he is or, in this case, can write lyrics with multi-syllable words.
It’s cool if a singer/lyricist can get by with emotion instead of clever wordplay and inventive imagery, but this statement would mean more coming from Thom Yorke or Maynard James Keenan, not presumably Scott Vogel, with his “Vogelisms” schtick
Why is it always douchebags from bands that play 500-1,500 capacity bars that act like they are Paul fucking McCartney or something?
Nothing wrong with playing venues that size, those are my favorite kinds of shows. That’s what ETID plays, and Keith is brilliant with his lyrics.
Yes but ETID aren’t smarmy cunts in interviews.
Smarmy, nice.
These Terror lads should hire you as their ghostwriter.
It definitely wasn’t Vogel who posted that, because it doesn’t mention mosh pits or wizards anywhere.
community service, please?
Needs more stage dives.
and reform Buried Alive. Better then Terror in every way.
I’m pretty sure the tweet read, “Never let someone tell you simple, to-the-point lyrics about brotherhood lack substance just because they’re not cryptic poems. There’s more to lyrics than how innovative of a wordsmith you may or may not be. It’s the passion behind them that shines through, bro.”
I think a lot of these bands are inspired lyrically from old Hulk Hogan and Randy “Machoman” Savage monologues.
Your chance of winning drastic go down:

While the statement is from a band that I’m not interested in I agree with what he said. Most of the music I listen to has some cleverness in it’s lyrics. However, sometimes simple sentences carry more of a punch than a paragraph of word-play. Look at “Weight” by ISIS. It’s a perfect song (on a perfect album) with two lyrics “All in a day. A day it changes everything.” Simple, and without any expansive diction. I’m sure he’s referencing more of the core type lyrics but the idea is still the same.
Whoooo, bro, that’s sooo deep.
Two sentences? Really? Yeah, that’s fucking weak dude. Where’s this punch you were yapping about?
Yes, those two lyrics are deep to me. Listen to the song and maybe it’ll sink in. If not, meh. Still important to me, and being selfish is what matters with that thar gitfiddlin’ and a drum thumpin.
