Cringiest Lyrics on Witness

I love Witness; it's my favorite album from Katy and 1 of the best albums of 2017 imo. The production is immaculate and Katy's vocals are nice and sleek. But as we know Katy is a very amusing lyricist. She never fails to provide us with cringey lyrics which Witness does suffer from.

But are some of your favorite cringey lyrics or the lyrics you think are the cringiest? :oprah:

Here some of my favorite examples:

"you're bout as cute as an old coupon expired" - Swish Swish

"your words are like Chinese water torture" - Deja Vu

"so I can sit first at the dinner table" - Power

"My people… need to let our bitchiness out. Otherwise, it turns to bile and poisons us"

"You're bout as cute as an old coupon expired" is actually the WORST line she's ever sang :air: It just hit me

The only one thats super super obviously cringy to me is "Open Sesame" in Into Me You See, because its a ballad and thats a cheesy ass line that doesnt fit :air: 

私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから

The only lyric that makes me cringe is the Peter Pan lyric in "Act My Age." That song has some lyrics that I just love, but she really could've gone without throwing that one in. It makes sense given what the song's about of course. It's just that Peter Pan references are so overdone.

You're bout as cute as an old coupon expired

And of course, Your words are like Chinese water torture

Etc etc.

I'm surprised at how much I like witness to be honest. The production is refreshing, and it's  nice to see a pop girl going against the tropical house chainsmokers-esque EDM and mumble rap that dominates streaming the charts. (Minus that migos feature and swish swish mess)

So many to choose :air: . I really like Witness's production, but her lyrics are God awful and just take you out of the song because they sound either awkward, forced or trying too hard to make a metaphor

Bloody hooker

Karate chopping the clichés and norms

It reminds me of that messy video of a woman singing about an Asian guy wanting to be a ninja :toofunny:

This mutual gaze was a “longing to touch” or a "pre-coitus" stare.
