With my blog today, I decided to take a closer look at one of the worst songs of all time, Photograph, by Nickelback. I have come to the conclusion that everyone who enjoys the band Nickelback not only has a abnormally lower I.Q. than the average person, but also lacks a soul.
However, rather than questioning why these people are supporting such a terrible group, I decided to look a little deeper into what exactly Nickelback is trying to say. So, directly below here I posted the lyrics.
"Photograph"
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
How did our eyes get so red
And what the hell is on Joey's head
And this is where I grew up
I think the present owner fixed it up
I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out
And this is where I went to school
Most of the time had better things to do
Criminal record says I broke in twice
I must have done it half a dozen times
I wonder if it's too late
Should i go back and try to graduate
Life's better now than it was back then
If I was them I wouldn't let me in
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Remember the old arcade
Blew every dollar that we ever made
The cops hated us hangin' out
They say somebody went and burned it down
We used to listen to the radio
And sing along with every song we know
We said someday we'd find out how it feels
To sing to more than just the steering wheel
Kim's the first girl I kissed
I was so nervous that I nearly missed
She's had a couple of kids since then
I haven't seen her since god knows when
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, god, I
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
I miss that town
I miss the faces
You can't erase
You can't replace it
I miss it now
I can't believe it
So hard to stay
Too hard to leave it
If I could I relive those days
I know the one thing that would never change
Every memory of looking out the back door
I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Every memory of walking out the front door
I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
It's hard to say it, time to say it
Goodbye, goodbye.
Look at this photograph
Everytime I do it makes me laugh
Everytime I do it makes me...
First off, what exactly is on Joey's head? Could it be a fedora? Maybe its just an empty beer case. Or, what if its one of those Jamaican hats with the fake dreadlocks?
Secondly, who would have gone and burned down their favorite arcade? I think the most logical explanation is that someone from the future knew that Nickelback liked to hang out there, so they traveled back in time and tried to destroy Nickelback before they started.
Thanks a lot Nickelback, you left us with way too many unanswered questions, how am I suppose to fall asleep tonight?
Haha! Yes... I don't even know how they ever became famous! They have terrible lyrics, and their music isn't good either. People who like Nickle Back don't know what real music is. I totally agree with what you said! That's why you guys need to hurry up, and get famous! ;)
ReplyDeleteIf 3 Doors Down hadn't made that stupid 10 minute Citizen Soldier video that was played before every movie I went to see a few years ago Nickelback would be tops on my most despised list.
ReplyDeleteThat Shreds video is hilarious btw!
I can only assume you chose Photograph for your analysis to spare us all the pain of having to read the lyrics to Rock Star, and for that I thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about doing Creed for my next one, thoughts??
ReplyDeleteCreed was the band I hated most until Nickelback took sucking to a new level, so I support this decision.
