Wow those are incredible lyrics. Thank you for the recommendation. I'll be checking him out

I will say if 'pop' music has failed you, and you're largely into instrumental music, I can't recommend Dead can Dance enough. Specifically Serpent's egg if you never listened to them. They're largely 'instrumental'(the singer made up her own language). The only song with defining lyrics on the album I also think are super beautiful:

I’m well familiar with DCD. I’m also aware that Brendan Perry’s lyrics of the 1980s are faux-profound and were created in a cloud of pot smoke. I suspect even he was eventually embarrassed at what he had written as a young man, as that material disappeared from concerts and he adapted a different lyrical approach for later efforts.

Haha fair enough!
