Lyrics

Does it always feel this chill near the end
I never dreamed we'd meet here once more
This life reserved for a friend
-The Church

I've been analyzing lyrics a lot, and have found some interesting relations.

Metal uses a lot of emphasis on vowels. Vocal sustains are held on them more then other genres. (Especially long vowels, and "I")

Industrial is filled with sharp and quick words, and the emphasis is on sharp consonants. (Example: Fuck that shit.)

Shoegaze tends to have sustain on anything that can sound like a hum, and blend in with guitars. (Ex: I can't remember waking up)

just some pondering.
