The Critics Are Never Kind
Brushing Off the Critics: Embracing Sweet Inspiration
Lyrics
The critics are never kind
The critics are consistently unkind.
They thrive on the negative
They find satisfaction in focusing on the negative aspects.
They seldom give
They rarely offer praise or express gratitude.
Their praise or their thanks
They do not acknowledge or appreciate the positive aspects.
And a word as ??
Unsure about the meaning due to unclear lyrics.
The critics are always blind
Critics are oblivious or indifferent when it comes to change.
Deaf and dumb when it comes to change
They lack awareness and responsiveness to change.
Their field brains cannot penetrate
Their intellectual capacity cannot understand new ideas promptly.
Until it?s too late
They only comprehend after the opportunity has passed.
We are Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh
Referencing artists like Degas, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
We are painters not parasites
Asserting that they are creators, not leeches.
Which one of them will ever know
Raising the question of critics understanding the artist's experience.
What it?s like to get high on sweet inspiration
Describing the euphoria of being inspired.
The critics are lonely souls
Characterizing critics as isolated individuals.
Their job is a thankless one
Acknowledging that their role is often unappreciated.
Which must be done
Emphasizing the necessity of their work for the survival of art.
If art is to survive
Artistic expression requires critical evaluation.
Their specialty is jive
Their expertise lies in superficial or deceptive language.
The critics must earn their keep
Critics must justify their role by using overly formal language.
By using pedantic words
Utilizing words that may be obscure or pretentious.
One has never heard
Introducing unfamiliar terms with a sharp sense of wit.
With razor sharp wit
Expressing a sarcastic acknowledgment of their wit.
But who gives a sh..
Leaving an unfinished word, perhaps indicating indifference to criticism.
We are Degas, Gauguin, Van Gogh
Reiteration of being creators, not parasites.
We are painters not parasites
Reemphasizing the distinction between artists and critics.
Which one of them will ever know
Repeating the question about critics comprehending the artist's perspective.
What it?s like to get high on sweet inspiration
Reiterating the joy of being inspired.
