It bugs us that Marianas Trench (the band) is a famous band.

Marianas Trench (the trench) should be famous. That thing is so amazing and deep. 

Unlike Marianas Trench (the band). 

Seriously. You'd think a band named after the deepest part of the world's oceans would put a little bit more effort into their song lyrics. Instead they come up with this:

Better than, better than, better than
You should know me
Better than, better than, better than
You should know me

(x8)



...Inspiring.

And more: 

Fallout (fallout) Fallout (fallout) Fallout
Fallout through the fallout
Fallout (fallout) Fallout (fallout) Fallout
Through the fallout

...Poetic.

And listen to the melody in this song: 



And then listen to the melody in this song:



...Do they know how to sing another melody? Do they know there are more intervals than the major 2nd? Like - gasp - the major 3rd!?!? We're not asking for much here. Just baby steps. 

Also, is every single one of their songs about a break-up? Can't they sing about happy things once in a while? They could even sing about how happy they are that they broke up. It's not that far of a leap. They could give it a try. Baby steps. 

It's unlikely that a band as successful as Marianas Trench would give a witch's keep about our opinion. However, in an attempt to be fair to them, we offer the following lyrics in good faith. If Marianas Trench (the band) should ever like to use them in one of their songs, they may feel free. No charge.

My bunny ran away
I found her empty cage today
I guess you could say I lost my faith
I can't find her, she can't hear me
She won't come back, she wants to be free

Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
Why did you leave
Bunnykins
Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
I brought you a lettuce leaf
Why did you leave

I saw your fluff through the trees
You love hanging out with the birds, without me
I can't believe that you would leave
And that you're so happy to be free

Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
Why did you leave
Bunnykins
Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
I brought you a lettuce leaf
Why did you leave

Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
Why did you leave
Bunnykins
Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
I brought you a lettuce leaf
Why did you leave

 I just cleaned your cage
Thought you would stay
I guess I was wrong
Because you ran away.

Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
Why did you leave
Bunnykins
Bunnykins, why did you leave
Why did you leave
I brought you a lettuce leaf
Why did you leave

  1. Those lyrics are FANTASTIC. They remind me of some "worship" songs. Repetition must mean spirituality. I guess. Anyway, I think I'll take your advice and stay away from MT.

  2. hey nice post mehn. I like your style of writing. The way you writes reminds me of an equally interesting post that I read some time ago on Daniel Uyi's blog titled Achieving Much More Than You Currently Think Is Possible .
    keep up the good work.
