Neutral Milk Hotel – Where You'll Find Me Now Lyrics 21 years ago
This song is about love lost by making mistakes.

But I let you down
And swollen and small is where you'll find me now

It is about wanting a second chance but knowing it will never come.

And you smoke in the park and sleep in the greenery

Kinda his obessvie stalking of someone they care about and wanting so badly to be a part of them again. He says that even your sweat smells good, scent is the sense that recalls memory in the most powerful ways.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2 Lyrics 21 years ago
I think it is interesting how we all bring our own emotions to his songs. His genious is that he creates as mood that insists on reflecting on personal relationships. This is my favorite song.

Neutral Milk Hotel – A Baby for Pree Lyrics 21 years ago
I think it speaks more about people acceptance of abortion rather than one woman's naivety. It hammers home the point that this is not something that should be considered as lightly as some do. Many, most consider abortion the worst decision of their lives, but are too young and stupid to make the right choices.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland, 1945 Lyrics 21 years ago
Being buried alive refers to a slow waiting death. A death that you know is coming yet can not do anything about it, this song is dark and sad and true.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Ghost Lyrics 21 years ago
I disagree with "lost business"
I think this song has much more to do with being comfortable with death by realizing we all live on. Not a religious song about heaven more a spiritual one about how we carry every one we love with us even after they pass.
"Ghost Ghost I know you live within me"
Anyone who has lost someone close to them knows that their ghost lives within them, it does not haunt them, more like guides them. People never die because we live in the hearts and minds of those we touch. This can occur in a positive or negative way, but this song is positive to me. Ann Frank's story touched JM, he felt overwhelmed by her strength, I feel he invited Ann Frank to live inside of him. He knows she will never die because her story lives on.

I feel you as you fly
In thunder clouds above the city
Into one that I love

A ghost will hover around until it finds someone to become a part of.

Now wings and rings and there's so many
Waiting here for you

wings and rings are a reference to an angel...waiting here for you means there are so many Ann Frank has touched, she becomes a part of all of these people.

I know that she will live forever
She won't ever die
And she goes
And now she knows that she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow
Into a hole where no one can escape

She is not afraid because she lives on as her story lives on.

A morning paper tells yesterdays news. If one is to die they become the news in the morning paper. She is no longer afraid of the morning paper cause she knows she will transcend it by living on in the hearts of others.

Into a hole where no one can escape is explaining that we all must go at some point but the key is to touch those we meet. To transcend time. To find immortality. This is a very spiritual song not a religious one, it is about Ann Frank but it doesn't have to be. Like I said anyone that has lost anyone close to them knows what this song is about, listen to it when you miss them, they will come back to u. Your brain records every second of your life, play it back every once in awhile, those that your carry with you will be alive once again.
JM said he woke up at 3 am. walked into the bathroom and felt this song inside him.
Sometimes without a warning you remember someone from your past, you have their ghost telling you stories, listen to them.
This is a great song on the best album ever recorded.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2 Lyrics 21 years ago
blurppi, thank you for your comments, I completely agree, this song is not about incest rather a story from two sides, one of anger and another of extreme loss.

"In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep wrapped in boxes so tight
Sounding only at night as you sleep "

maybe the best few lines ever written, everyone has these secrets that sound at night, people rarely allow others into their real world, their real thoughts, their dreams....I just love how he explains that

i think it reminds us never to think you know how other people feel, never take anything for granted, I think we all have a lot to discover bout each other, even those that we think we have figured out. I think that this song is bout trying to understand where this pain comes from, and in some ways how to cope with the loss.
