I think they are because some seem like poems. Once I have heard a song and read it's lyrics I can't ever seem to read it like a poem though the music always comes up.

The best songs do...I especially love Hardcore songs, they have the greatest lyrics ever. Here are some I can think of at the top of my head.
--- Chloroform Perfume This is the end result of so many meetings at late night dinners with no one eating, We sit in corners and sip burnt coffee, Count the tiles up on the ceiling, Let's skip the pretense and cut straight to dying, Just dont beg me to keep your eyes from crying, You said so much without even parting your lips, It's past 3am and I'm still far from sleep, And this is a habit i cant break, You're my only company, I'm skipping stones down a suburban street, Street lights flicker like this match in my hand, It was begging to strike, I keep repeating but this payphone tele stopped receiving, Flat out of change now and I'm sure you won't accept the charges, It's all the same because by morning I'll be halfway to Colorado, Or someplace like that, She keeps on asking "Do you think it hurts much to die?" It's hurting so much more to stay alive now, She's gonna find out how much it hurts to die She laced her perfume up with death, I feel it in my lungs, So I'll pull in the deepest breath and drop my head Forever Forever your eyes will hold the memory I saw your heart as it overtook me We tried so hard to understand and reason But in the one moment I gave my heart away The perfect breath where my mind lay beside me And all I knew is what had overtaken me With no explanation I am comforted by my inability to understand When I wake from this dream will you still be here? Will your smile still open my heart And leave me trasparent? Time Holds The Truth The timing is wrong But sharp on the mark Breaking occured long ago This day is battered Cold and shattered The midst of feelings I feel nothing Don't feel a thing Suppose it's not bad Your poor attempts To hurt me are poor as I say And leave the sky falling grey The timing is wrong But sharp on the mark Breaking occured long ago This day is battered...shattered Your poor attempts To hurt me are poor as I say And leave the sky falling grey Time! Time Holds The Truth! |

Of course they are. Even if the song doesn't rhyme. It's a poem, or a story.
Sometimes, both... >,< Anyway. That was a really good, and at the same time .... ditsy question. <333333 O.O |

Chloroform Perfume, babe!... I'm sure you were thinking of me...
 Without a doubt, the answer is yes. Songwriters= poets. |
