| Matthew Sweet – Evangeline Lyrics

This song was written about a comic book character whose name was Evangeline. She's a nun who plays clean-up for the vatican, and her 'code name' is "The Magdelina". She's been featured in a comic with Vampirella, though I don't know if they're on the same label. "The Magdelina" is a pretty old book. |

dude, it's totally about the guy and his mistress. people don't go to motels to have sex when they're married, and they're not on vacation either. i mean, who's getting a 'rest' in having sex with their husband or wife? |

hey grim, you're halfway there. If all we have going for us is a life that we spend chasing after sex (Rapture, Second Best), material posessions(Indian Summer, Progress), professional success, (Penetration) and comfort (Options, Progress), life isn't worth living. Trying to life a life where we pretend our actions are meaningless, unrelated to anything other than the goal of that specific action, can't work. Actions mean things, life has a purpose by it's very nature. Trying to live like that's not true makes a life that can't give us the happiness we chase, even when we make that the end goal, hence the hopelesness of the last three songs. Ciao! ^_^ |

i'm embarrased to be a Pedro fan when I read that any one else who listens to them thinks that 'The Longer I Lay Here' could be about, of all things, jerking off. While one could assume he's talking about morning wood from the first line (difficult, but possible), that interpretation grows more difficult to support as the song goes on. Who is the protagonist talking to in the middle of the first verse when he says that he would like to be them 'for a few habit-forming years'? His penis maybe? Or perhaps the elemental personification of masturbating itself? And why then would he praise this antagonist by saying it performs it's work with excellence, industry, and diligence? 'Nice job buddy, thanks for helping me sin against the flesh again. You rule!' Not being able to stop masturbating doesn't sound rediculous; it sounds like the same problem 93% of the planet has. Now, trying to explain to someone that they really *want* to do the work in front of them, it's just that they struggle with the sin of being lazy, *that's* ridiculous. I can't believe-- "laziness cuts me like fine cutlery": is he saying that he's to tired to wank off?! of course not. honestly people... |
