Owl City/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: See [[Lyrical Dissonance]] on the main page.

* [[Base Breaker]]: The Shooting Star EP. One half of the base feels [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] and criticizes Adam for adopting a more 'generic' style, while the other half defends Adam by pointing out that he's just experimenting and developing his style.

* [[Ear Worm]]: I'D LIKE TO MAKE MYSELF, BELIEVEEEEEEE~

** I'll be out of my mind, and you'll be out of ideas pretty soon...

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: A couple of lyrics have meanings that you need to think a bit about, but there are some pretty clever meanings: ''Fireflies'' has 'I'd like to make myself believe, that Planet Earth turns ''slowly'''. The point, as this troper has realized over the last six months, is that it ''doesn't'', life goes by too fast most of the time.

* [[Mind Screw]]: Arguably, The Real World. Is Adam talking about some dream world he never wants to leave, or our world?

"I'd never leave if it were up to me..." }}

** Yes, both of the above seem to about the same place.

* [[Narm Charm]]: Let's face it, [[Tastes Like Diabetes|diabetes never tasted so good]].

* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: According to some critics.

** Strawberry Avalanche is about... well, an avalanche of strawberries. It has ''candy-coated clouds''.

** To some degree the opening lyrics of "Honey and the Bee" when you realize [[Fridge Horror|he's talking from the perspective of a bee in the countryside and referencing other insects being splattered on car windscreens...]]

*** There's quite a sad pair of lyrics in ''The Real World'', quite strange compared to how upbeat the rest of the song is:

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: There are a lot of complaints on Youtube about the Shooting Star EP, with many people complaining that the new style of the EP is too 'generic' and that it's just not Adam's style. [[Fan Dumb|Never mind the fact that Adam is known for experimenting with new styles...]]

* [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]: Quite honestly, any song that isn't about [[Silly Love Songs|love]] or [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|spirituality]] is this.

* [[The Woobie]]: From the opening lyrics of "Honey and the Bee", the bee Adam's using as perspective. Lonely, watching other insects splatter on car windscreens. He even says it 'but boy I need a hug'. And this troper would give the poor guy one...

** Arguably this is what makes "Honey and the Bee" so touching. The fact that Adam sets up a poor lonely Woobie type, and then gives him a loving companion.

** [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Quite a few of them, though "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMuOcyZjB2A Meteor Shower]" is a prominent example.
