n0ne 13,105 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 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? 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" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomiel25 2,111 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not cringiest but Power: , I am my mother's daughter Gaga ( I'm my father's daughter, mother's daughter, sister's sister, friend's friend) impact i can't speak english but i can if you like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 "You're bout as cute as an old coupon expired" is actually the WORST line she's ever sang 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 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
display name 4,360 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElectricAlley 1,737 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 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) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shmal96 2,928 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 So many to choose . 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hooker 6,445 Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 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 This mutual gaze was a “longing to touch” or a "pre-coitus" stare.
