Music

Dear Owl City,

I really enjoy your hopeful happy tracks and heavily autotuned (melodyned?) voice but COME ON sometimes you just don't make any damn sense.

I mean seriously:

SpoilerMy rock candy passion is bittersweet
And armed to the teeth
Cuz she would rather fall in chocolate
Than fall in love
Especially with me

I stood under the waterfall
With a kiwi-pineapple parasol
As Cinderella dropped the crystal ball
And made a concrete cavern
A caterpillar concert hall

I wish that we could sail our sad days away
Forever
In deep blue seas of paper mâché
(Let's dance in the moonlight)
A barracuda chased our dog days away
Forever
Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love
(And dance in the moonlight)
When we join the yacht club

THE HELL? Are you just saying words because they sound nice? (I think you are!) What is a caterpillar concert hall? what does that have to do with a yacht club? Now I appreciate that some of your subtle christian lyrics put aspects of my worldview into song-form (who doesn't love it when that happens?) but maybe if you could maybe try make lyrics that are a tad more coherent? I know you have a thing going here with this slap-dash poetry and I respect that, but it makes it really hard to understand what you are saying.

Of course I'll still listen to it dozens of times, maybe it will make sense then (it won't).

SpoilerP.S. I just saw your Deer in the Headlights music video. THIS IS THE KIND OF THING I'M TALKING ABOUT! I linked this song because I figured "oh, here is a song that actually has some understandable lyrics (happy song about creepy guy)" but now your music video has a delorian and jellyfish and bearded gas station attendants? Are you sure this was the music video for this particular song? I mean I did see a deer and there were headlights but your lips didn't really sync up with the lyrics so maybe it was misplaced?

Of course now I still love the song.
