Why the Backstreet Boys' music: although sucky, compels me to sing along

The last entry was a bit too oh I don't know--deep for the summer. So I have decided to lighten it up a bit. Why is the Backstreet Boys' song "Incomplete" so damn catchy. Some of you may be asking yourselves, "Is she serious? Backstreet boys? More like Backstreet Boys, if you know what I mean." But seriously people what have they done to deserve hate? And I quote sheer poetry here, "Empty spaces fill me up with holes. Distant faces with no place left to go. Without you. Within me, I can't find a way. Where I'm going is anybody's guess...." What the fuck does that mean? Empty spaces fill me up with holes? This song is full of unconventional oxymorons, but not on purpose. They found words that sound good with the music, but make no damn sense. How can empty spaces fill you up...with holes? Think about it...not to hard, it starts to hurt after a while. The song continues, nice piano riff, "I go on like I never knew you. I'm awake, but my world is half asleep. I pray for this heart to be unbroken, but without you all I'm going to be is incomplete." My question to you- So this narrator, the singer is disgruntled because he is alone now. He wants to forget the girl. Wants the pain to go away, the heart not to be broken, but he complains of being incomplete. So he wants the pain to go away, but knows he will never be whole without this girl. Whatever dude, I have been playing this stupid song on AOL music five-six times a day. I whip out my thumb and sing along too. It's damn catchy, like a real love song should be. It's got all the right music with all the wrong words. I'd keep "But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete." Save the music, change the rest of the lyrics.
