I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

It tells a story. But if you don't have the inner booklet you would never know that there is a story being told do to the ambiguity of the lyrics.

I was under the impression that a lot of prog lyrics were just hey-nonny-nonsense strung together for the sake of having weird lyrics.

Slipknot and those ultra deep lyrics that need explaining. Crazy bastards.

That's part of what I like about prog is the sheer nonsensical lyrics. I mean, just look at Yes:



And don't even get me started on Jon Anderson.

That's what they want you to think I guess. But looking at the lyrics for something like De-Loused in the Comatorium just confuse you more, despite them trying to actually convey some sort of message through the album you ain't gonna get it unless you read the short story he wrote, and good luck with that.

Meh. I probably don't care that much about what a musician has to say anyway. They aren't required to have the same skillset as an author or poet so they probably aren't as skilled in general.
