I am a lyrical fanatic, but look at the Strokes, Muse and Nirvana. Their lyrics are really nothing special, some are even horrible, but their songs sound good.
Here's a point, when a song sounds good, I like it, simple enough right?
Now, I feel Singapore's music doesn't sound good.
And on the point that it is unoriginal, well let me elaborate, you know how certain bands have a vibe?Like how when you hear the song, you think to yourself "Hey this song sounds like band A, that song sounds like band B" Well, I feel that Singaporean bands have no vibe whatsoever, nevermind the lyrics.
On The Observatory, I never actually checked the lyrics, they definitely seemed quite original though, but the vocals just dont suit what I like to hear, which is sad.
Let's ignore the fact that Singaporean rock is unoriginal, does it even sound good in the first place? Well, thats for you to decide, but I dont like it.
I will support the music scene, I will gladly support sub-par bands, because I know that if everyone did the same, the music scene would be good. But i'm 15, and I dont plan on dropping out.

Um, i said "Eh, can you read?" and I want to fight? Right.
You are the one who didn't read it carefully, he used that as an EXAMPLE that the Singaporean government is holding EVERYTHING that allows you to express yourself. Let me make it clear, I dont support drug usage and my favourite bands dont take drugs at all, therefore I dont feel that drugs = good music.
Lyrics are poetry, and poetry is useless? Okay man, whatever makes you happy.
My standards are high? I dont mind listening to Panic! at the disco(watching is another thing), enough said.
