It really kinda sucks today. Here's great lyricism from the Chairman of the Board: This is a song about (because I'm being lyrical I'll quote Shakespeare) a couple becoming "the beast with two backs". Out of the tree of life, I just picked me a plum You came along and everything starting to hum Still it's a real good bet, the best is yet to come The best is yet to come, and babe, won't that be fine You think you've seen the sun, but you ain't seen it shine Wait till the warm-up's underway Wait till our lips have met Wait till you see that sunshine day You ain't seen nothin' yet The best is yet to come, and babe, won't it be fine The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine Come the day you're mine I'm gonna teach you to fly We've only tasted the wine We're gonna drain that cup dry Wait till your charms are right, for these arms to surround You think you've flown before, but baby you ain't left the ground Wait till you're locked in my embrace Wait till I draw you near Wait till you see that sunshine place ain't nothin' like it here The best is yet to come, and babe won't it be fine The best is yet to come, come the day you're mine Come the day you're mine And you're gonna be mine. Now, imagine a modern song about "the beast with two backs" (Google it if you don't know what it means, I feel smart!). Less lyricism today, period.

Really, both music and lyrics wise, masterpieces like Stairway to Heaven aren't produced today anymore.
Here's part of Lateralus by Tool: With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in. I feel it move across my skin. I'm reaching up and reaching out. I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been. We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been. Spiral out. Keep going... Also, at the moment my signature is all Tool lyrics.
Some of Avenue of Hope by I Am Kloot: Along the avenue of hope The footsteps falter, the fingers grope and days, stretch out, beneath the sun No-one's born, and no-one dies, no-one lives, so no-one cries and we wait to see just what we will become
