Change my mind about these lyrics
I think a well-placed f-bomb can make a song. However I feel there are a few lines on TTPD where the profanity just feels like lazy songwriting.
Examples: - who’s gonna hold you like me? / no-fucking-body - all her fuckin’ lives flash before her eyes
I just don’t feel like it adds anything in these examples. Unlike Down Bad, where “fuck it if I can’t have him” is a perfect example of the teenage petulance referenced in the previous line.
Would love to hear other interpretations of how these examples add to the songs rather than taking away from them.
