Interpret lyrics literally.

[Aigis]

But not just literally; painfully literally. Make a person go "wow, that is ridiculously inane, that interpretation of those lyrics right there. It's obvious that it's a metaphor, why would you even do that I don't even..."

The idea is to draw a picture in MS Paint, or a similar program, of the literal interpretation of obvious figurative language within some lyrics. You want the effect of a really bad pun,.

You want your picture to say "me-owch".

Let's get the lack of creativity rolling. I want some pragmatism up in this hole.

Crazy Train -- Black Sabbath

Something I remember from my early teen years at the start of high school was a bit of confusion regarding the chorus of "Nothing" by A. The line goes, "Give me some love, give me some skin", which honestly confused me at the time, being unfamiliar with "skin" being a slang term for cigarette rolling paper. In my mind, something like this was more likely...

I Pictured something like this. I know he's missing an eye and other things, but when i heard the lyrics i pictured a man going crazy as the man sees himself mentally falling apart. So this picture resembles whats going on inside of the mans head.

Yea i guess so, but when i heard the lyrics i thought of something like this. I think it's more deep to draw something phylosophically as opposed to literally.

That is the complete opposite of what I asked you to do.
