Got a lot of stuff themed around women, sex, boozing it up, just real vain or shallow subject matter instead of actually having something to say.
All in all though. POD has never stood out for me, but sometimes lyrically, Sonny Sandoval isn't half bad.

A song about sad things happening to sad teenagers is about as original as a sad teenager. There was nothing notable about the lyrics to that song. It used the same basic message (youth = sad), with the same whiny tone that ****ty radio bands had been overusing since Nirvana. Just because your song is wheepy and "dark" doesn't make your lyrics better than songs about partying and booze. **** that song.
