YOU CAN'T SAY NO

Songs are supposed to make sense?

David Bauhaus aren't supposed to make sense

in the lyrics i mean

one of his albums is called 'stop making sense' ya dingus

Lyrics are supposed to make sense?

you should post the lyrics in question with "what did he mean by this?" and i can explain it to you

this so much

some aren't

Why was his left eye always more dilated than his right?

he got punched in the head when he was like 16

Not all art makes sense. I don't completely understand what a Fellini movie or James Joyce book means, I don't think they even really understand it.

most artists as far as I know don't write songs that have one specific meaning

Why not both?

He championed a style of writing that randomly assorts scraps of paper with words on them.

It's a wonder you can even extract any sense from them

as far as i know reading various interviews with him, he seemed to write a some whole songs without any lyrics in mind, and then just write what he thought sounded good with it, which is why he often wrote sentences with odd structures or lines that didn't fit the previous?
that's as far as I can tell, but it may not be fact

>He championed a style of writing that randomly assorts scraps of paper with words on them

no he said he only did this for a few songs

He did it as a way to promote his commercial career.
