Faith No More: Everything's Ruined Meaning
Song Released: 1992
Everything's Ruined Lyrics
Capital from boy, woman and man
We were like ink and paper
Or numbers on a calculator
Knew arithmetic so well
Working overtime
We completed what was assigned
We had to multiply...

It's about the human race.

Good observations, Brian. I altcauly think many hymns are simple and colloquial as well: I need Thee; O, I need TheeEvery hour I need TheeO bless me now my SaviorI come to TheeOkay, so Thee isn't very colloquial, but it's hard to be more straightforward and simple. I think you nailed it when you talked about the emotional devotion which we often feel with contemporary (for lack of a better word, because, as you mentioned, there are many good contemporary hymns) songs. I wonder if that's because music often speaks more to our emotions than lyrics do, and music helps lyrics communicate more deeply, viscerally. This is why I think there seems to be somewhat of a movement recently toward revamping hymns with updated music. Good thoughts, thanks!
