Mhm. I think lyrics in away messages are annoying. Sometimes, if you don't even know the song, you're just gonna read it and go huh.gif ??

Not to mention if the lyrics repeat and you dont know it. Like the same words in some songs.. haha. I'd be like wth?!

whats your opinion?

I don't find it annoying. If you do, just don't read it. That simple.

You don't have to know the song. It's just the meanings behind the words that one liked.

I don't use lyrics from well-known songs in my away-messages. But people I know don't use lyrics, period. So I can't say.

... I've never seen anyone put a bunch of song lyrics in their away msgs. Maybe in their Buddy Profile (Info), but that's about it.

Although some of my friends would put soem quotes in their away message, having a hidden meaning behind it. I try not to ponder about it for too long, since I'm sort of slow and I decide to wait until they come back to tell me what the quote(s) mean. Haha =P I'm slow, I know.

Anyway, maybe the song reflects their emotions, at that time... Maybe they're sad and away crying or something.. who knows... it doesn't bother me personally that they would put song lyrics in their away message. =P

I put lyrics in my away messages O_O;

I don't think it's annoying.. I know a lot of people who do put lyrics in their away messages .. I only read some of it and if it's boring and meaningless then I'll stop. But if I start to like it, then I'll continue reading and yeah. There are some really good lyrics out there..

I don't mind people putting lyrics up as their away messages. I do it too. Like Seon Ho said, it isn't about the song, it's about the meaning behind the lyrics.
So quit stressing.

i don't think it's annoying. sometimes there are deeper meanings to the song to them so that's why they put it as an away message. and also, sometimes it relates to how they feel or to why they are away. like if it's a sad song, then maybe they are away because they are crying or something like that.

What's so annoying about it? _unsure.gif
I put lyrics in my away messages if 1. I can't describe how I'm feeling or 2. I can't think of anything to put in my away.

People on my list are constanly using lyrics and quotes for profiles and aways.

the only lyrics i put up are depressing ones whenever i'm upset, but usually i put up something about what i'm doing

i use lyrics sometimes.

because there are good songs out there.

i'm not talking about like popular ones.

just ones like straw dog by something corporate.

and evanescence lyrics.

and stuff like that.

and it's a lot less annoying that

"i am away from my computer right now"

i never really found the point of putting AWAY or soemthing in your away message.

i mean, we see the yellow notepad, we get the " ____ is away" message, do you really think we don't know you're away?

Sometimes people can't express how they're really feeling at the moment, and so they use a song that best describes their feeling. I don't find that annoying.
but if people do find it annoying, then don't read the song happy.gif

If I see the away message icon next to their screen name, that I know they're away.
