Bands who write the most pretentious/meaningless lyrics?

The Killers.

Are we human?
Or are we dancer?
My sign is vital
My hands are cold
And I'm on my knees
Looking for the answer
Are we human?
Or are we dancer?

Always took that to be a throwback to the FaceDancers within Frank Herbert's Dune saga, else didn't make any sence to me.
 
I'll have to go with oasis - some might say has to be an all time pile of gob****e for meaningless lyrics:

oasis said:
Cos I've been standing at the station
In need of education in the rain
You made no preparation for my reputation once again
The sink is full of fishes
She's got dirty dishes on the brain
It was overflowing gently but it's all elementary my friend

Need I say more? lol

H to the izz O
V to the izz A
Fo shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in V.A.
Was herbin' 'em in the home of the turbans
Got it dirt cheap for them plus if they was short wit cheese I would work wit 'em
Boy did we?
Got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustler, I was birthin' 'em
H to the izz O, V to the izz A
Fo sheezy my neezy keep my arm so greazy
Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped they chrome ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A.'s wanna box me in
But somehow I beat them charges like Rocky (/me rise hands to the air)
H to the izz O
V to the izz A
Not guilty, (Katherine) Heigel does not feel me
It's not real to me therefore he doesn't exist
So poof, va - moos son of a [beeeeeep]

(and scene)

Given that Noel was most probably high/drunk when he wrote Some Might Say, it probably stands to reason why the lyrics dont make sense lol.

He even said himself that he has no idea about what Dont Look Back In Anger is about, or what the lyrics even mean :p

Still, Noel is a musical genius :) I wish I wrote Live Forever, such a simple, great song

Oh, and I vote for Muse :rolleyes:

Mafioso rap is always going to be full of itself, by its nature.
 
Feeder. I used to love them, and certain older tracks are fantastic. But when you actually listen to the lyrics from the newer albums they're so completely meaningless it's untrue. Just one stupid metaphor after another.
