There are basically three types of songs: loved songs, unloved songs, and transitional songs written by tired people in between the two. Love songs are cheesy, unloved songs are depressing, and transitional songs are poetry. Transitions catch the world on fire, touching on relevant topics while speaking with giddiness and despair of the lover between. Ace Boggess
About This Quote

Transitional songs written between lovers between so they can be loved and unloved by the listener represent the love and hate relationship of all relationships. A transitional song is a sweet and sad love song so bittersweet that it makes the listener feel slightly sick. The sweet and sad sweetness is part of the transitional song's purpose. The bittersweet nature of the song is what makes it special because it helps transition from one stage in a love relationship to another.

Transitional songs are written to get both lovers through a tough time in their relationship. This is why transitional songs tend to be about the confusion and boredom of being single in-between relationships. Transitional songs are written in a way that will make both lovers see themselves in a parallel togetherness, even when one partner has moved on and the other is still in love.

The way a transitional song conveys this parallel togetherness is through parallel lyrics in which both lovers refer to themselves as “you” when talking about how much they miss each other or when describing what they want from their ex-lover.
