como mi héroe la gran bestia pop
Mi heroe es la gran bestia pop
que enciende en sueños la vigilia
y antes que cuente diez dormirá
A brillar mi amor
vamos a brillar mi amor
Is it just me, or this doesn't make any sense??
And I always thought that some singers don't follow grammar rules because it's a way of...well, being against the rules!

I hear you Veronica!!
But think about it, some of the great songs in history would sound just plain silly if they used proper grammar....not to mention being
casi imposible to make rhyme...like all the songs with "ain't", ("Ain't That a Shame" by Fats Domino is just not going to fly if it's titled "Isn't that a Shame")
I also think that most pop, rock, etc., is written for the audience, younger people mainly and is written in everyday language, using bad grammar, slang, etc., just like most people do.
Clearly some artists just write what ever comes into their heads that rhymes and fits the music. I love Bob Dylan but never understood half of what he wrote (even though I tried to sing along
). He probably laughs when people try to decypher his lyrics since he probably didn't know himself when he wrote them.
And some songs, I'm convinced, are written while the writer is under the heavy influence of mind-altering substances!
