>>5987968>>5993852>SONG LYRICS>Under The Silver LakeI rewatched this again recently, it is such a great film. Here is the Songwriter scene, right up to the moment before the protagonist axes the old piano man in the face with Kurt Cobain's guitar.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AdE7yos6COwThe protagonist's name is Sam, he likes Nirvana and has posters, he is searching for a mysterious missing girl named Sarah (Sam-Sarah, like "Samsara", buddhism nirvana lol so deep hehe)
Anyway, you may be aware that the lyrics conspiracy alluded to in this scene is in fact true, it is not actually even that secret, eg TKA The Kluger Agency brand drops / product name placement

>Product placement may be old hat in the music industry. But, as it turns out, it’s piracy proof, too.>To take just one recent example, the Lady Gaga/Beyoncé video “Telephone” featured a brief glimpse of a security guard viewing a dating site called PlentyOfFish.com. Eighty-five million people watched that video on YouTube, enough that PlentyOfFish’s traffic rose 20% in the month of the video’s debut, writes Zack O’Malley Greenburg of Forbes.>Regardless of whether users pay to download videos or songs, whose lyrics can also feature paid shout-outs to brands, they’re still getting the marketing message. And that’s good news for both brands and the music labels. “Obviously if the song is pirated, the lyrics aren’t going to change,” Adam Kluger, CEO of The Kluger Agency, who coordinated PlentyOfFish’s involvement in the video, told Greenburg. ***
SONGWRITER
I don't care what's fashionable or cool.
It's all silly and meaningless.
I've created so many of the things
that you care about... the songs that
give your life purpose and joy.
When you were fifteen and rebelling...
you were rebelling to my music.
Sam stares at the man in horror. He glances down at the
priceless guitar in his own hands.
SONGWRITER
That song was not written on a distorted guitar.
No, I wrote it.
Somewhere between a blow-job and an omelette.
There is no rebellion...
(...)
SAM
I don't believe you...!
SONGWRITER
I'm the voice of your generation,
your
grandparent's, your parent's and all the
young people who follow you.
(...)
SONGWRITER
Your art,
your writing,
your culture...
is the shell of other men's ambitions.
Ambitions beyond what you will ever understand...!
