Suspension Without Suspense will always have my heart Reveal hidden contents Oh the pessimistic protection plan, moderation loving I’ve been hardened by the circumstance, we knew this was coming We get so far, and then it just starts rewinding And the same old song, we’re playing it again Suspension without suspense, intentions without intent But I don’t want the love we have to end Yes! It is my favorite of theirs and one of my favorites of all time. That song. i don't remember ARTPOP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McYves 1,612 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Taylor is a better lyricist but I love Lana and I have never really liked Taylor that much so . But yeah.

Kattys 4,319 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Lana is poetry and Taylor sounds sometimes like a school diary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShayCristoforo 10,607 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Lana is a better writer, but Taylor is a better lyricist. If that makes sense. Get the pinot ready, because it's turtle time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Taylor writes great pop songs. Lana is a straight-up poet. It’s not even comparable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,934 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Lana and that's not even a moment for hesitation. The fact that Taylor says she's a massive inspiration for her own music should tell you all you need to know. Teacher is always better than student, surely? Of course, we know the more palatable one gets better critical acclaim and Grammys. 3 hours ago, Lord Temptation said: They’re both similar in their subject matter (relationships, relationships and relationships) but I find myself more drawn to Taylor’s style of songwriter. It feels more honest, raw, uncertain, tender and uncomfortable at times. Lana is style over substance. Lana has written a lot of music that is "honest, raw, uncertain, tender and uncomfortable at times" too. Happiness is a Butterfly is the prime example of that. See also: Yayo, Ultraviolence, Sad Girl, God Knows I Tried and In My Feelings. I love all those songs but there's a feeling of discomfort when you listen to her give away a bit too much. I think Lana gets put into the style over substance category because she doesn't spill all her emotions all the time and is quite a guarded person. That doesn't mean that she's a lesser artist.

LilyLark 10,122 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Both are excellent, but I believe Lana wins by a tiny bit. Although I think "All Too Well" possibly beats any of Lana's work, Lana's collective songs tend to be stronger in terms of lyrics imo. Problem is Lana occasionally leans way too far into style/atmosphere so you get cringe/try hard lyrics like "He used to call me DN/that stood for deadly Nightshade/...yo soy la princesa/comprende mis white lines"....which sounds more like what an angst-ridden teenager might write in their journal while wearing Urban Outfitters or the thoughts of a Brooklyn hipster that believes David Foster Wallace is the ultimate genius. Granted, Taylor has her clunkers too but the occasional immature hook isn't quite as try hard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidLuis198 1,185 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I think both are really diferent Taylor is more descriptive, she evokes memories and nostalgia better and is more upfront on what she's meaning to say, she describes people, places and events beautifully and makes us feel like we were there/remember similar experiences on our lifes. While Lana is more poetic, does a lot of references to USA culture that makes her songs a little bit more dense to understand if you're not from the US, and describes feelings, people perceptions and problems more than Taylor, we can feel what's she's feeling/remember similar times where we felt things like that. Both are great, but they have differences that doesn't make sense to compare (that's also the reason I think some people are being unfair to Gaga on this thread, Gaga is a great lyricist, but it's a lot different than Lana and Taylor) I don't know how to write in english Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose P 23,341 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Let’s take a moment to appreciate another stellar songwriter, Lorde. This one really does get to me : Baby really hurt me Crying in the taxi He don't wanna know me Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm Says it was poison So I guess I'll go home Into the arms of the girl that I love The only love I haven't screwed up She's so hard to please But she's a forest fire I do my best to meet her demands Play at romance, we slow dance In the living room, but all that a stranger would see Is one girl swaying alone Stroking her cheek Also: Please could you be tender and I will sit close to you Let's give it a minute before we admit that we're through Guess this is the winter Our bodies are young and blue I'm at Jungle City, it's late and this song is for you 'Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost Well, I guess I should go Yeah, I guess I should go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
