| Animal Collective – Winter's Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
My interpretation.... I love this light in winter time, there's frost cakes in the carpet In winter time, have happy days to stomp snow feet below me No fall snow fall could ruin my days It's masked up from the streetwire And winter's love where could she be? She's warmin' in my pocket Just a calm and modern day In early early morning Rush to her and rush to bed Am I a better person? It evens in, my warmth give (up/her?) (The frost was heaven sent?) I pulled the boy out of the box And made that boy a man ...it kind of depends on what version of the song you listen to. |

Thanks for putting this up here... feel free to post the other ones from the forum too... I'm too lazy, especially with the songmeanings loadtimes being slow as they are lately. Let me just warn that there's a good chance I got about half the words wrong here. Really like this song though... If the words are right, then I guess it's kind of just a short story... And the alternative high pitch/low pitch voices have a conflicting opinion on what to do with these "angels"... one of them wants to keep them, the other wants to get rid of them... and eventually they get fed to the guy in a pie. |

| Suicide by deodorizing. Interesting. | |
| Animal Collective – Prospect Hummer Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| I'm not really thinking it's about a cat dying... It seems more to just be random thinking as somebody's laying on the floor, looking at their friends cat. Thinking about how nice it would be to talk to and be friends with the cat, but you know that a cat can never really be your friend, because all cats really care about is eating and sleeping. The cats only friend is his food bowl. Even when you cuddle with the cat, he's still sitting their thinking about food. The middle verse is the only one that's straightforward at all... the first and third just being strange ponderings. | |
| Talking Heads – And She Was Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Actually it's really about a girl on acid. Captain Byrne has said so himself. Joining the world of missing persons, missing enough to feel alright... Sounds more like acid than suicide to me. | |
| Sparklehorse – Maria's Little Elbows Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| Pretty straightforward song, aside from the typically cryptic Sparklehorse metaphors involving animals and bodyparts. The "she said I've really come to hate my body..." part is an allusion to a Lou Reed lyric. From the song "Candy Says" I believe. | |
| Ween – Reggaejunkiejew Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| Not really a racist song. It's just about some dude that pissed them off I think. About some jewish guy (at least one of the guys in Ween is jewish, so they can talk trash about jews if they want to), who thinks he's a rasta. | |
| The Beatles – Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Lyrics | 23 years ago |

Lewis Carrol never used LSD. Mushrooms, perhaps, but never LSD. LSD didn't even exist when he wrote Alice in Wonderland. Mushroom use wasn't even common back then, especially not in the area where he lived. Lewis Carrol may have smoked some opium in his day, whether or not he ever did cannot be proved that I am aware of... However, it is fact that he never had LSD, and all signs point to him never having used mushrooms or any other psychedelic drug. Plus, he couldn't be an LSD addict, because LSD is not an addictive drug. :P However, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds... whether or not it was directly and originally inspired by LSD... was definitely touched up by LSD somewhere along the lines. Listen to the Beatles pre-psychedelia, and post-psychedlia... there's a world of difference. The drugs didn't make them creative, they had that already... but the drugs did help them make their creativity more visionary. To say drugs didn't effect their music at all would be ignorance. And perhaps his openness about the topic being drugs in other songs is because those songs paint a more negative picture of drug use, as they deal with more serious drugs... LSD is a recreational and fun substance with no extreme ill-effects aside from making people a little weird when they use it a bit too frequently, and schizophrenics who haven't shown symptoms yet tend to begin showing their symptoms after dropping acid. |

Also, "I've been doing this 25 years", in the book I believe Bernard was 25 years old. Parts of the song don't really seem to coincide with the book though, but I guess it would be boring to just repeat a book in song. |
