Teen Gothic

My #1 song of all time, the song I've listened to more than any other, the song that will even be featured on my funeral playlist is Dark Entries. Yet, I only understand about 30% of what he's saying. The rest is just inaudible to me. Even following along to the lyrics, it just looks like a series of words but no interpretation is understood in my head. In English class, I always struggled the hardest with poetry. It's like scripture, it's words I know but I have no idea what any of it is supposed to mean as a whole. Is there a way I can help improve that trait? Plus, it would be great to understand the pain and misery Ian Curtis was actually feeling instead of just letting the music itself setting the mood

Want to chat about something which doesn't need it's own thread? Do it here!

Feel free to discuss music, fashion, events, DIY projects, etc. and anything relating to goth as long as it's in line with the subreddit rules.

Let me rephrase it: what obscure songs have you heard that you don't understand how they are not known everywhere in the subculture?

I am a sucker for obscure music, although it is something I both love and hate. I like it because it makes me feel like a nerd enjoying his little world of secret and obscure bangers. And I dislike it because it means there are a lot of artists that I enjoy that don't get the recognition they deserve. And I've seen just how many artists with minimal audiences exist in this genre… So I want to gather us all to share them!

Besides, I want to make a playlist with the music in your responses.

Personally, a song that I love that I don't see anywhere else is Touch Dispelled by Ending the Vicious Cycle
