All These Things Mixing Up Together

I found a lot of songs' lyrics, they're all quite good but, I just don't know how to find their similarities and come up with a main idea to study with.

Some people study the relation between songs' lyrics and the society at that period of time.

I can't tell what the society was like from the lyrics I found.

Worse, I can't even understand every one of them. Lyrics are like poems. So hard to understand them clearly.

I tried to put them into groups by their main ideas, so here are 3 of them:

Peace-loving:
 Don't Look in their Eyes      
by Stabilo


Positive Thinking:
Sailing Away 
by Travis

Telling a Sad Story:
I Know I'm a Wolf
by Young Heretics

And there are still a lot of lyrics that I don't know how to categorize. I'll post them here soon.

Finally, a New Idea

I decided to study about a kind of music called "independent rock"(also known as "indie rock"), which is one of my favorite kind of music.

According to Urban Dictionary, indie rock is different from pop music, which usually makes them not as popular. Indie rock artists usually write their own songs and make music all by themselves.



Sorry, the order is a bit wrong 'cause I can't quite control my cellphone.

Anyway, that's what I've been thinking. And I will also search for more data's about it.

I think the lyrics of indie rock songs are usually better than normal popular songs, which is always about "partying", "touching the sky" or "I'm sorry" kind of stuff. Lyrics may be what I focus on studying. Maybe I can compare different kinds of lyrics and their popularity, then share my favorite ones. I don't know.
