Based on a limited sample, I don't have a clue what King Crimson songs are about. Even the 'classic' Yes songs convey something, despite the obtuse lyrics. The Yes I prefer is the material with, and largely written by, Trevor Rabin. I've heard a tiny bit of Jon Anderson solo (or Vangelis) material and found it too outside the mainstream.
