Talk:Stephen King vs Edgar Allan Poe/Rap Meanings/@comment-68.2.180.81-20140604154846

"The Tell-Tale Heart beats soft in its grave while this jerk just beats off on a page!"

'''I feel like the line is also saying that Poe (who is dead and in his grave) writes his poetry with passion and emotion (hence the "Heart beats soft" part), whereas King could be seen as putting in no effort and is just publishing crap. '''

Also, someone may want to add the use of "beat" with a double-meaning (though it's technically there, just not stated directly).
