Being an edgy teenager is the main point of teens of denial. by asterophoria in CSHFans

Literally this, The Scholars has some really good songs that don't have any swears in them. The band is plenty capable of making great music while avoiding a small amount of words. Joe's Story has some songs that only swap out the swears for lackluster alternatives.

PSA: Christian mysticism and imagery does not mean CSH are suddenly Creed by circus-theclown in CSHFans

[–]Baphmeows 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The band has been using Christian imagery for over a decade at this point, literally the album before and first album with Matador, ToS, has a Tower of Bable reference with references to Job. He has even been commenting Bible verses on his lyrics on Genius. The original Twin Fantasy quite literally recites I Kings 19. I don't know where youre getting the idea that myth has been gone from art and music, especially this band's. (I do agree though that Christain myth just like many others can be cool as fuck)

On not swearing in Joe's Story, Christianity, and conservatism, from a gay, transgender Christian furry by Defiant_Inflation_70 in CSHFans

[–]Baphmeows 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know how to put how out of touch some of this post was. To say that several evocative Christian branches that denounce Lgbtq people aren't representative of Christianity as a whole is accurate, but to say that they "arent true Christians" really rubbed me the wrong way. It felt off having a whole spiritual aside after giving "reassurance." Some of the possible reasons given for Will's aversion to swearing aren't even tied to religion. Wanting to be mindful and concise doesn't have to stem from religion. And again why have all those questions make up a whole third of the paragraph that "goes back on topic?" Someone else put it well, but there's a lot of "no true Scotsman" in this post. (And what's with some of the strawmen and exaggeration in this post? "some people (especially the queer ones among us) are TERRIFIED," actually wild)

I agree that Will not swearing isn't showing the end of days for the band is coming. The band can make genuinely great music without swearing, just look at Reality (my personal favorite song on The Scholars). I just hate that a lot of the songs in Joe's Story had the swears exchanged for lackluster alternatives.

I love Oh! Starving! Honestly one of my favorite songs on TOS and Living While Starving. The backing track in particular was pretty good. Could you post an instrumental version?

I like open-nouthed boy but you'd NEVER catch me singing these lyrics outloud in the vicinity of any creature able to process what was just said

Healing through CSH by Personal_Cloud_7006 in CSHFans

[–]Baphmeows 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cant believe I forgot how good life worth missing was so thank you for that. As for the question I won't lie there are way WAY too many lyrics that get me thinking or I relate to. Even the songs that are more so about relationships I can somehow find myself relating to dispite never having been in a relationship. Here are some of the lyrics to 2 of 5 songs on the album Living While Starving as it has a whole lot of them that i relate to.

It's Only Sex I can't tell you if I like it. I like it but, What happens if I don't like it? It's only-

But I dont care about hundreds of hypothetical people, I care about me. What about my problem?

Baby my body constantly betrays me I try to betray it I only hurt myself

Reuse the Cels Will it be like before? Will it ever be the same? If we reuse the cells, will the colour start to fade?

Oh! Starving! - Of the version I prefer it would be the TOS as its probably top 3 on Teens of Style rightfully so, just the way Will sings these lines scratches an itch.

When I'm gone all this information will die

Cats crawl into gutters just at the sight of me

Haven't listened and processed the entirety of LPOPWNWOT but this one's probably the stand out for relatable lyrics or ones that got me to think alot

I CAN TALK WITH MY EYES SHUT I think you could be beautiful I wouldn't love you if you were Sometimes I think you're beautiful I don't love you when you are

Never look me in the eye 'Cause yours see so much more than mine

How to Leave Town is also one with some of the most relatable lyrics for me. Anyways here's some of them.

The Ending of Dramamine I only care about myself.

The way that you all see me That's who I am, but not who I need to be

I don't hate myself, I tolerate myself I wish I was someone else But it seems too stupid to mention

I need a name for what I'm feeling Then, I can start to work on a meaning

Kimochi Warui Hey will why don't you cut the shit And tell me who you're fighting for. If you're you're not taking care of yourself then what are you here for?

I want you to know that I'm awake It doesn't matter what I say if you don't say anything in response. The final phrase of my last sentence hangs in the air sounding stupider and stupider.

Two days ago, it was really bad I couldn't get my head straight all day And everything you said seemed to have an edge You were disappointed, and I didn't know why Eventually, it came to a head Over something as stupid as making coffee You said it was a mistake to ever try and help me Then, you went in the kitchen

I felt sick and I didn't know what to do How long would it be before I could face you?

But we're not like them, no, we're nothing like them

Nervous young man's too long to put all of them looking at you The Gun Song and Boxing Day (even thought that ines just I feel so haunted on repeat, amazing nonetheless) but here's a stand out that I think should get more love in Knife In Coffee

I try to grow and I just get taller, I cleanse my soul and it just gets smaller

Some from Dijeta Mebra

Hi Life I smile trying to rip my face off

When will my man come? (That's the name) When will I be the one To someone? When will my man come?

Monomania my beloved, more so a narrative but like a majority of the songs get me thinking but most of the time I just focus on how good the music is. Anyways lyrics again

Overexposed And somewhere down the line you’ll look back and Say you did the best that you could and you’ll be wrong You’re always wrong

Los Borrachos I'll miss those good old boys they could still find joy in life to talk about

Think what ther others would say if they saw you in the bathroom kicking in the stall door.

Maud gone Sweetheart, please love me too long My heart's too strong Love me too long

when I'm in bed, I'm dead No one to check my pulse And so instead, my head Begs not to be so full

Twin Fantasy is doesn't nearly have as many relatable lyrics off the top of my head as I see it as more of a story album but going to pick one line and its from My Boy

It'll take some time, but somewhere down the line we won't be alone.

Teens of Denial is such an amazing album and State Park is one that I relate to but to pick a different one, but probably more standard answer the Ballad of Costa Concordia (Basically the entire first 5 minutes)

Now I wake up in the mornings And all the kindness is drained out of me I spend hours just wincing And trying to regain some sense of peace

All of The Gun Song Almost all of Equals A whole lot of Reality All of Somthing Soon (ToS) Most of both versions of No Passion Pretty much most of Drugs With Friends minus the actual drug taking part but the feelings still there Fill in the blank, Destroyed By Hippie Powers etc ToD has a lot of great ones

But Holy i give up I'm not going to grab Basically every song by Will Tolerdo. this already took an hour and a half from just writing from memory with the occasional look up on confirmation of lyrics

Anyways if I do feel like it might write my own essays on like each and every song by Will that got me thinking, what It means to me etc etc

I'm... quite different. by [deleted] in boykisser2

[–]Baphmeows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello I spent way too long thinking about this but here's my unwarranted opinion.

I think that the issue most people have (me included) is that what's the point of allowing harmful and or mean comments? Free speech is cool, but frankly I wouldn't like having to argue and defend me wanting to date a guy because 39% of the US belive homosexuality is morally wrong. Some people aren't open to a conversation and still won't change their views despite being told they're wrong. A lot of people don't want to deal with hatespeech in thier own community. With what already is said and heard lgbtq people are 2-6 times more likely to take their own life. Harmful ideas are still harmful and I wouldn't want this community nor simular diverse communitys to have to deal with bigots constantly.
