Lorde is very poetic and good at painting a clear image. I think Gaga is better at being abstract.

Yah your right. Abstract was the wrong word. I actually personally love with Gaga gets political with her themes because she dresses them up with s-x and glamour and fame and artistry, esp. on BTW :flutter:

 

I just meant that some of the metaphors and things that Lorde writes in her music dont immediately click for me. It seems she writes about her own life and culture a lot and i dont understand some of it on first listen. Lyrics to songs like No Better come to mind in that i was confused what they were about :smh:

 

Maybe im just a flop.

For people who write their own material, she's very good! I would not say the best, but yes, very good!

Lady of the 'Dam won't

Won't be a slave to the blonde

Or the culture of the popular

(She won't, she won't)

 

She is a rebel. She won't conform to the blonde popstar image. "Lady of the 'Dam" is referencing Amsterdam.

 

Sing at you, I'll

Fly under radar tonight

Make deals with every devil in sight

(I will, I will)

 

Again, she won't be popular. She'll make deals with devils in order to become famous or possibly just talking about d--g dealers.

 

I don't like to boast

But our truffles are the most

Mad-magical in Amsterdam

(She won't, she won't)

 

Her d--gs are basically the bomb.com.

 

So if you have fear, Apollo

Sit on my lyre, and

Play him like a piano man

(I will, I will)

 

This is a more abstract verse. I am thinking it deals with the music industry because Apollo was the Greek god of music and a lyre is an instrument he was associated with. "Piano Man" is a song by Billy Joel.

 

I think the song is about her being a rebel as well as smoking pot.

I prefer Lana Del Rey and Katy Perry and Bonnie McKee and Jessie J overall :shrug: There are some songs of Gaga's that I like more than the aforementioned artists though :yes: Some of the vivid imagery Gaga uses is stunning :flutter: I do think she's an incredible songwriter :gaga:

 

I'll never get over So Happy I Could Die, my favourite lyrics of any song ever :cry:

Katy? Bonnie? I don't get if it's irony ?

OH GOD! 

 

I also put "Yah"... I was just feeling so casual i forgot :deadbanana:

 

Please forgive me :giveup:

 

Also, to the lines i kept quoted I think it means that shes inviting other people that create music (Apollo) to come over to her side (sit on her lyre) and dont be afraid to go crazy/be artistic? (Play him like a piano man.. Billy Joel is artistic and a free spirit :flop:)

 

Apollo could also be the music industry in general.

 

Probably way off, but Just first thoughts.

Daydream

In terms of songwriting, I would say that she surpasses most of her contemporaries such as Taylor Swift, Sia, Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Katy Perry/Bonnie McKee and Ke$ha.

 

However, I do feel like Michael Jackson, Madonna and Mariah Carey are better... Not because they've been around longer but their choice of words and their melodies are stronger.

 

This might seem crazy to some people but I also think to an extent that she's a better writer than the Beatles. :shrug:

 

With that being said, she's only done four albums and she continues to evolve and grow as an artist and her lyrics through each album prove it since they get better and better. :yes:

Maybe, but their lyrics are fun. Not genius like Bloody Mary + Katy writes her songs with 5/6 peoples, we don't know if she writes only 1 sentence ... Do u heard her ET explication ? She dint get the metaphore... Weird if she wrote it...

Who are other contenders? 

 

There's tons of good ones out there, some more known than others, but i can say for example, Adele, Janelle  Monae, Bo Bruce. 

Listen to my debut pop single 'Want You Bad'! (link on Insta)
