Hüsker Dü – Books About UFOs Lyrics 13 years ago
This song explains his admiration or dare I say his love (ill name a planet after you, pretty awesome gesture of love) for a girl because she is "off in her own world" and he feels an affinity with her because of her individualism. probably my favourite Husker Du tune.

Yo La Tengo – Here to Fall Lyrics 13 years ago
I believe this song is about two people trying to overcome the fear of entering into a relationship or making one closer, possibly because they (one of them) have recently come out of one that was difficult or painful.

Relationships are hard work, theres good and bad times and thats why its difficult to enter into one:

(There will be some happy endings
There'll be dreams that don't come true
But in the times ahead, there's love and hate and hope and dread coming
All and all, in makes it that much harder for you, yeah)

But in the end, unless there are serious issues, wouldnt it be better to be together than alone? (What else is there for us to do?)

Their fears are based on previous pain, but there is hope that they can help each other to overcome it:

(You'll push back against the sorrow
Wait for the sun, and we get through)

But even though theres hope, theres also a way out if it starts to fail:

(And if the glare's too bright
We'll pull the shades, but (it) dims the lights)

Finally, its suggested that finding yourself in this situation is almost unavoidable, being human, having emotions and ultimately believing that everybody wants to feel love and will eventually take the risk to find it:


(That's just the way it is, but it makes it that much harder for you, yeah)

Eels – Guest List Lyrics 13 years ago
I believe this song is explaining his infatuation with someone he believes is out of his league because he feels inferior to them (Wanna be one of the beautiful people)(Wanna feel like I'm missed)(I know my clothes are not right), sees them as untouchable (One of the beautiful people), he questions whether the person is really so untouchable (Are you one of the beautiful people?) he questions and doubts if they realise he exists and could ever notice him (Am I on the wrong track?) and (But I don't know if you know what I mean 'cause I'm Never on your list) he is fragile because of his infatuation and its driving him crazy (Sometimes it feels like I'm made of egg shell, It feels like I'm gonna crack)

He explains that he is struggling to believe that even "beautiful people" cant possibly be void of feeling (Everyone needs to find someone who cares)and he explains that even though he has doubts anything could eventuate, he holds hope that the person is not void of feeling and will notice he cares and that this would be enough to validate him, for the person to overlook what he believes makes him inferior (Everyone needs to be somebody).
