Lyrics don't really make or break a song depending on the quality of music.
Sure they can.
Nah, only if you let it. Songs can still be good with subpar lyrics.
They can't be great with shitty lyrics. And good songs can become great with great lyrics.
True, but I never said a song could be great with shitty lyrics. I said a song can still be good with subpar lyrics. That's two different things.
Besides, "only if you let it" can be used for anything.
Well, that's arguable depending on what you're talking about but really not worth discussing. I was refering more to a state of mind about something that's entirely subjective anyway. If it works, use it. If it doesn't then don't. Entirely up to you.
"That's like when you see that product, I Can't Believe it's not Butter. You can say that about a lawn chair.
Only if someone was stupid enough to think a lawn chair tastes like butter and then can't believe it isn't.
Otherwise, why would anybody say that? Not a good analogy.
Thanks for the amusing comments guys but this is getting a little off topic. I was talking about lyrics vs music, not shit, butter or lawn chairs.
