This Twitter Account Shares ‘Lyrics You’d Never Believe Are Real, But They All Are’ And Here’re 30 Of Their Top Posts (New Pics)
Music is one of humanity's oldest forms of self-expression. Whether we're talking about parents soothingly humming to their infants or the background in our favorite movies and TV shows, it's all around us.
There are many elements to a song and equally as many reasons why they stick with us. A tune might live in our head because of its rhythm and melody, so it's no wonder if we miss a part of its other components. Like, for example, lyrics.
Luckily, there are ways to refresh our memory. Funny ones, too. Take the fun little online project called 'Lyrics Without Context.' As the name suggests, it shares random phrases that artists have recorded, and let me tell you, its feed gets really ridiculous really fast.
We have already featured 'Lyrics Without Context' on Bored Panda but we couldn't stop ourselves from returning to it. Enjoy!

Squirrels live it large at raves. Illicit drugs are a danger in the squirrel community.
Insert Generic Username 3 years ago (edited)
That's why my dog hates squirrels so much! One miserably hot night last summer she went outside to smoke a cigarette after drinking an entire case of Harp stout when she saw a trio of raver squirrels jump their crow drug dealer. Apparently, the night before, he'd sold these delinquent squirrels some Flintstones vitamins, telling them it was indeed ecstasy. After giving the "fake drug dealing crow" (the squirrels' words, not my dog's) a proper beat down with absurdly tiny cricket bats, these delinquents knocked out cold the dealer. They then proceeded to loot his unconscious body, finding the real squirrel ecstasy in addition to raccoon heroin, possum cocaine, rat meth, and bat shrooms. Being the young, dumb bunch they were, the trio consumed ALL of the drugs in one go, right there in the presence of my smoking dog, and dropped dead almost instantly. Of course my dog might have been telling a tall tale but I believe her.

I think here gay is ment like happy. Like in the song, no milk today, the company was gay
However, whether we're talking about French electronic and Japanese indie or K-pop and Spanish jazz, it's common for people to listen to songs they don't even understand.
Indeed, not knowing the language of the lyrics doesn't stop people from liking—and sometimes even singing along to—a song.
Just think about “Macarena” by Los del Río or the infamous “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi feat. Daddy Yankee, later popularized by Justin Bieber (who doesn’t speak Spanish). And it's not about people who only speak English, either. Many people don’t, yet Megan Thee Stallion’s and Dua Lipa’s “Sweetest Pie” are still topping music charts around the globe.

“It’s a complicated [topic],” ethnomusicologist Lisa Decenteceo, who teaches musicology at the University of the Philippines Diliman, told Vice adding that it all starts with what’s called “sound symbolism.”
Sound symbolism, according to Decenteceo, refers to the study of the relationships between utterances and their meaning. This doesn’t have to do only with music. Marketers, for example, can tune into sound symbolism as part of their strategy in coming up with appealing brand names. In music as well as in branding, Decenteceo explained, there’s something about the appeal of words as sounds, beyond their meaning in a language.

While things like culture and personal experiences affect people’s responses to different kinds of music, Tolentino said there are certain musical techniques that are generally used to convey certain moods. One of which is scale, or the graduated series of notes, tones, or intervals dividing octaves.

“Songs in a major scale usually have brighter, happier sounds, while minor scales usually have the slightly darker, melancholic feel,” she said.
Tolentino explained that the human brain is wired to respond to sound. In a process called entrainment, the brain “synchronizes our breathing, our movement, even neural activities [with the sounds we hear].”

This is actually the reason why fast-paced music is so popular for running or why some yoga teachers play rhythmic and melodic tracks during their classes.
Decenteceo, the ethnomusicologist, explained that “the music does something to the text,” from the way the words are sung, to the way the voice is used—for instance, “if the singing is raspy, if it’s shrill.”

Probably should keep the bedroom talk in the bedroom.....with the chair.
Plus, there are also the things that accompany the words. “Elements of sound and music like pitch, melody, harmony, timbre, and amplitude have an affective, emotional, psychological, cognitive, and even physical impact on listeners. Music adds so much meaning and dimension to texts through a complex of these avenues,” Decenteceo said.
What all these things do, said Decenteceo, citing the book The Sound of Nonsense by Richard Elliott, is liberate the words. “Song frees the voice from any burden of saying anything meaningful.”
In other words, elements in music like scale and melody combine with the plain sound of the lyrics to create meaning independent of the words’ dictionary meanings.

This song is so great though. I even asked my friend why the lyrics made no sense, but they’re catchier that way, IMO
Therefore, it's important to understand music as a discourse between musical elements.
“The interrelationship of those musical aspects—there’s melody, there’s pitch—the combination of all those things coming together,” Decenteceo said. “There’s something to be said about not just the text, but how the text maps onto that.”

So, clearly no one here has actually heard the song. LOL. The lyric is not saying that he thinks "one plus one is three"...they are talking about a woman. The lyric: " Yeah, she think I'm a regular rapper, I'm not/ One person come tell me, we f*ck up your block/ Watch me run this sh*t to the tippity-top, yeah /(keep going)/ Put my kids in Givenchy/ She must think one plus one is three/ I can't support you personally/ She don't got a mortgage, /moved in with her niece..." They are saying she is dumb to think he is a "regular rapper"...so much so that she must also be stupid enough to believe "one plus one is three". CONTEXT. The lyric is a bit daft, but not as crazy as it is being made out to be lol.

Of course, this isn’t to downplay the importance of the lyrics' linguistic meaning. Tolentino explained that, in music therapy, lyrics are powerful tools for helping people recognize, articulate, and reflect on their emotions.
And Decenteceo added that it's still important to look out for any wrongful or problematic messages in song lyrics.

"The verses and chorus are lyrically constructed as a prejudiced attack on short people. In contrast, the bridge states that "short people are just the same as you and I." Many listeners thought that the song reflected Newman's sincere beliefs. However, Newman intended the song to be a satire about prejudice more broadly: "The guy in that song is crazy.
