+nils hedberg I noticed that a lot of spoken word artists tend to present their lyrics in a very dry, very conversational manner, just like this lyricist is doing. I haven't asked any of them why they do this (they don't know i exist, for one thing) but if I had to guess, I would say it's a way to make the song more relatable, more real, more intimate for the listener. I mean, it's like they're having a conversation with the listener, yeah? If he started screaming or getting angry, it might cause the listener to put up some defenses, to mentally take a step back and be like "whoa dude, you don't need to yell at me" and to shut out the message that is being presented. So the lyricist chooses to keep things calm, less energetic, and the like in order to preserve the message.
One of the best bands I've ever heard bar none. Tight beyond measure.
