Chris Daughtry Music & Lyrics

Chris Daughtry, the American Idol who almost was, has come out with a self-titled album that is more than just the rants and ravings of a mad rocker dude. After his surprise upset on American Idol, Chris Daughtry set out to take advantage of his newfound celebrity and today his new album is number one on the Billboard 200 charts.

Chris Daughtry's lyrics on his Daughtry album maintain the steady theme of love lost throughout. In the song Crashed there is a particularly well executed rhyme from a lyrics standpoint, "Could've been the death of me / But then you breathed your breath in me."

Another good rhyme can be found in the lyrics of "Gone" in the lines, "Feeling overwhelmed, I take a dive / To a once overfilled but now empty place to hide." Besides the excellent rhyme there is an a gripping metaphor at work that pulls the listener deeper into the song.

Out of all the songs on the entire Daughtry album, though, perhaps the one with the most innovative lyrics is "All These Lives", which isn't about the usual adult love gone bad theme. This song in particular is about child abduction, another kind of love lost theme, that has rarely been explored in the musical realm.

Two drums up for Chris Daughtry and his interesting music and innovative lyrics that have put him number one on the Billboard charts.
