Buzz is probably into stream of consciousness lyric writing and is influenced by Henry Rollins' spoken word albums.

this is more like it.

uhh,say what? Rollins?....Maybe a DaDa/Stream of Consciousness mix.
The Melvins are in the truest sense Artists and the reason they keep such a hardcore following is because their aesthetics are so unique and fluid.Part of the reason I got into the Melvins was the lack of traditionally structured lyrics. Speaking for myself, I find their songs have a longer shelf life because of the lyrical chaos & allow the listener to come to their own conclusions as to what any particular song is about. The songs sometimes seem to have new meanings over time & in different settings. "Hardly we reach"...YES! When you hear that after the more free form 'words' that come before it, they carry so much more weight because it makes you ask questions; What are they reaching for ?, What am I reaching for ? ...The mark of great artists/preformers is not only to get attention,but to keep it and leave the viewer/listener with new thoughts,questions & different perspectives.The Melvins do this for me.

Rollins seems to be direct with his thoughts. Even when he is saying something abstract like,"I've got diamonds in my eyes!",you know
exactly what he means...mostly because the the rest of the 'picture' he is 'painting' is quite clear and to the point.

It was a joke. Buzz laughs at Henry Rollins.

Well, maybe when he refers to the "Nutmeg" album. One of his favorites.
