I think that MAYHEM is a intersting written record, so seriously, which lyrics do you find beautiful or intersting on this record? 

Mine are:

Disease

Like a god without a prayer

(sounds fascinating, imagine a real existing god without believer) 

----------------

Abracadabra 

Keep your mind on the distance
When the devil turns around
(good advise) 

Save me from this empty fight
In the game of life
(dramatic) 

Death or love tonight

Phantom of the dance floor, come to me
Sing for me a sinful melody
(passionate, first there is the advice to keep distance to the devil, but she can't resist the sinful melody)
------------

Killah 

Standin' on the corner smokin' that grass
And the boys all pass me by
Talkin' some **** with your hand on my ass
I'm a murderer in disguise
Yeah, you wanna be cool, but you're makin' me mad
Bite my lip, it starts to bleed
Yeah, it tastes so good, but it gotta be bad
If I'm gonna get you home

Gonna make the curtains cream, believe it
Gonna make the ceiling shake for me
I'ma be your full-time bedroom demon
I'm gonna make you scream, that's a matter of fact
I'll be your fantasy

I lighten up my final cigarette

I'll burn a hole right through your eyes
Lookin' at you like a zombie killah
Hungry for a homicide
If I get you alone, under your skin and bone
I'ma try you on for size
About to wear you out like my favorite suit
Wool's paralyzed

Gonna make the curtains cream, believe it

Gonna make the ceiling shake for me
I'ma be your full-time bedroom demon
I'm gonna make you scream, that's a matter of fact
I'll be your fantasy

(the lyrics of the whole song are just so cool, like a night adventure with dangerous but interesting situations ) 

-------------

Shadow Of A Man

Peakin′ through the eye of the storm
Eye of the storm
Gotta be the truth or you'll become a lie

(there is some truth) 

---------

Blade Of Grass

Lovers kiss in a garden made of thorns

Traces of lonely words, illusions torn

(this sounds so poetic, one of my favourite lyrics of MAYHEM, just love this song and these words)

That lyrical capture always reminds me of this Telephone sartorial chapter …

That's because of the lady you like. 

Sirens blow by our heads sound also good. 

LG likes the Cold In The Summer time phrase

It wouldn't surprise me if one of her iconic styles didn't inspire her, consciously or unconsciously.

Unpopular opinion: Blade of Grass is lyrically strong, and it's a good song

 

edit: y'all would be salivating over this song if it was on JFAD

@River in my eyes, I've got a poem in my throat (I mean it! :flutter:)

I don't believe in the glorification of murder, I do believe in the empowerment of women

Thought we'd last a lifetime
When I'm mumblin' alone
I taste the last words that you spoke to me like wine
My heart is in a bind
If I could bear it on my own
I wouldn't try so hard to numb what's left behind
I know this time
I won't escape these thoughts that I dread
I need you tonight
But I'm gonna fight the feeling instead

It is absolutely a beautiful song, the picture drawn there totally fascinates me. Who says anything else?

Disease: You're so tortured when you sleep / Plagued with all your memories

Abracadabra: Choose the road on the west side / as the dust flies, watch it burn ; Phantom of the dancefloor call to me / sing to me a sinful melody

Garden of Eden: You're turning green from the adrenaline / this chick's a machine, but her friend is way more fun / but you can't hear her when the music's on / so you say yes and then the party's on

Can't Stop the High: In the midst of the crowd, hearts start to fly / You scream and you shout as your mouth gets dry / Eyes bleed from the smoke, angels appear / From her beauty, you choke, her lipstick you smear

Vanish Into You: Into the night we fly / Sirens blow by our heads

Perfect Celebrity: I've become a notorious being / find my clone she's asleep on the ceiling

Killah: I lighten up my final cigarette I burn a hole right through your eyes / looking at you like a zombie-killah, hungry for a homicide / if I get you alone, under your skin and bone, I'mma try you on for size / I'm 'bout to wear you out like my favorite suit, wool's paralyzed

ZombieBoy: I don't want you to stay / But I can't watch you walk away / I'll think about you in my dreams / You're better off a fantasy / Fantasy / Goodbye, I'll see you in my dreams

LoveDrug: Thought we'd last a lifetime when I'm mumblin' alone / I taste the last words you spoke to me like wine

How Bad Do U Want Me: You're so ****ed up with your crew / But when you're all alone, it's true /You know exactly what we'd do / How bad, bad do you want to?

Don't Call Tonight: Drivin' home to your favorite song / And you scream so loud, 'cause you're all alone / And your heart beats fast 'cause you're in the zone / And you know you're right where you belong

Shadow of a Man: Hard to be the yellow in a purple sky / Peekin' through the eye of the storm / Gotta be the truth or you'll become a lie / Piercing like your skin from a thorn

The Beast: The girls are scared of you, a legend in your neighborhood / Last week, you left somebody dead, you're so misunderstood / You got your hands a little red, tick-tock, you're out of time

Die with a Smile: Ooh, lost, lost in the words that we scream / I don't even wanna do this anymore / 'Cause you already know what you mean to me / And our love's the only war worth fighting for

 

I really don't understand fans who say this album has some of her weaker lyrics when, imo, these prove how much stronger of a songwriter she's become since doing Joanne and her jazz records.
