Got nothing against well written lyrics with a poetic slant.
The problem I do have is when those lyrics are badly written, ooze pretentiousness, or even worse, both.
I've seen far too many members here straining badly to pull off the poetic turn of phrase (see aforementioned member in my previous post) and fail miserably.
Far better to write simply, well.
