Inflatable Vegetables

Entry from Shock Value in Nur Ein XIV.

Make a song with quiet and loud parts -- like every Pixies song you love. This can mean crescendos or decrescendos, sudden loud noises, whatever, just make good use of dynamics.

Inflatable Vegetables

Shocking people used to be so easy and absurd
A fifth of Jack, profanities and rock and roll
Fishnets, leather, makeup and dead babies
Chop my head off at the end of every show

Shock value
Shock value
Shock value
Shock ain’t got much value any more

Now Grandma sings along to ACDC and Disturbed
Little high school girls have piercings and tattoos
F-bombs drop like missiles over Syria
What’s a poor shock rocker gonna do?

Shock value - Ain’t got much value any more
Shock value - When you've seen it all before
Shock value - When extreme becomes the new norm
Shock ain’t got much value any more

I wondered if I was a symptom or cause of the problem

I changed my addiction from alcohol to golf
Read the Bible, go to church religiously
Crash together, Spend time with my family
Help inner city kids - Work for charity
Run for President - You can vote for me

Shock value - Ain’t got much value any more
Shock value - When you've seen it all before
Shock value - It's shocking if it's true
Could a crazy troubled man be more sane than you?

I don't really get what you were going for here to be honest. It's another one that sounds less "dynamic" and more "badly mixed", a disappointing follow up to your strong round zero entry for me. Not without merit but one of my least favourites from this round.

You managed to make “dead babies” funny. The lyrical take is a good idea, strangely subtle in its treatment of this topic. I like the chorus melody.

sounds very phantom of the opera. Has dynamics.

My biggest complaint here is that the first chorus is so sparse. Other than that I have no major issues. You could probably cut & paste my previous review for you. Unfortunately I think your competition mostly stepped it up while you maintained a steady course.
