In all fairness, most pop music is pretty vacuous. The Wall annotations are pretty good, a nice mix of references from the movie and personal anecdotes of the band members, e.g. http://rock.genius.com/Pink-floyd-nobody-home-lyrics
The annotations for "Nobody Home" are weak, pseudo-intellectual warblings with very little added value.
"So far, the majority of the discussion of the song has focused on the discord created by the alternating ideas of artistic yearning and mundane if not altogether oppressive reality. But what of the chorus and its reiterations of nobody home? Just who is Pink trying to reach when I pick up the phone?"
Who indeed. There may be other sectors where the annotations work better, but that kind of "insight" doesn't make me want to go back.
i agree with both this and OP - while the format and function of the site is great for reading, i am usually underwhelmed by the annotations. in fairness to the annotators, the content they are annotating is often pretty inane - "he's bragging about his sexual prowess" etc etc.
perhaps we should rename is "genious". let's at least have a sense of humor about what we're doing here.
