Sucky Lyrics: Tino Coury's Diary



If you asked me right now what I know about Tino Coury, I could only tell you that he looks like a total tool, puts a freakin STAR in the O in his first name, and is probably going to be a one or two hit wonder.  And he also sings one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard.  It's called Diary, and it's about a boy (I assume) going through his girlfriend's diary (what the hell) and discovering that she loves someone else and getting pissed off.  Now, I assume we're supposed to feel sympathy here, but uh, I've got none buddy.  A diary is a diary.  Would you want your girl to read your diary?  Icky, icky song.

I'm tempted to post all of the lyrics, as they're truly insipid, but I'll focus on the part that killed me when I first heard the song.

My heart is bleeding
Papercut from reading, reading


No, I'm not taking those two lines out of context.  They're supposed to go together; a couplet, if you will.   At first, I thought it actually said "papercut from breathing, reading," which is worse, but it's still truly awful.  And as often happens with terrible lyrics, these two lines are repeated several times in the song, as if they're profound and vital enough to emphasize.  Unbelievable.
