Well...I'm totally not bored and I'm not sure if "dissect" would be the right word. But I am a lyrics junkie and it is a passion of mine to read what people write (music lyrics and other things) and to look at it with an eye toward understanding what they meant. I've been doing that lifelong. I think one of the best things about poetry and lyrics is the broad range of interpretations people bring to what they read/hear. It always gives me pause when someone points out something that never occurred to me in lyrics that I've been listening to forever. I find that thrilling! Just my thoughts!
