Nobody is saying there have to be rules. I'm simply asking what is your preference? Obviously, there are good lyricists and bad, and within that, even what I would personally consider a good lyricist can write a crappy song (Gary Moore "Teenage Idol") and a bad lyricist could write a good one (Train, "When the fog rolls in"): of course there are no rules. You're misinterpreting the thrust of this thread, whether you don't understand it or are just being ornery for its own sake I don't know. But I'm not saying all songs have to be deep and meaningful. I just prefer, mostly, my music this way and wondered how others felt about it. It's just a question, not a claim.
