I’m not really that familiar with Cocteau Twins, I just had a friend who was kind of into some of their early stuff and would play it a lot. Looks like some of it was foreign words unintelligible to them that they just picked out of books bc they sounded nice: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/nonsense-lyrics-cocteau-twins-best-song/
Interesting. Yeah shoegaze never really clicked with me much. Most of what I know of it comes from DJing and taking requests. Not typically something I would play a lot on my own. There are some in the genre who didn’t smear the lyrics. Slowdive comes to mind. But I’m not sure whether they are an exception or rule LOL
