| Babyshambles – Albion Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
an ode to the sights and sounds of working class england, albion is a ship that leads to arcady, utopian place that can only be found through hard work and self destruction. other songs like Love on the Dole tie in with the idea of beauty only existing for us, the people singing for their supper and trying to reach our dreams. so sail the good ship albion to arcady, and maybe we can all be beautiful dreamers, maybe. peace love drama |

| Modest Mouse – Life Like Weeds Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
when he talks about the air filling up with talk until there is nothing left to breathe, It's such a powerful image. I visage people struggling to breathe because they talk so much. And it's so beautiful that those words float on up to space. or as issac brock put's it "up unto the better parts of space". parts where no organisms spend there time talking. the song asks the question, how do we exist in a world were we are destined to die? The singer is full of questions and regret. But at the same time understands he is one of many 'weeds' who need each other, to be shaped, pulled, and dependent on. I see this song as the sombre b-side to Float on on the new modest mouse album. anyone have any thoughts? peace |

he is in a restaurant. he is feeling awful about something, you know taht feeling when everything in life seems to evoke emotion. riding the bus, oredering a coffee, or stepping on a snail. the man is a waiter, and the singer is so sad and lonely that he is happy to have this interaction with another human being. "what happened" is self reflective - where did i go wrong Will you put my hands away ? Will you be my man ? Serve it up, don't wait Let's see about this ham |

I think this song is about a woman the singer loved so much that he killed her and drowned her as this was the only way he could put himself at ease. some of us are familiar with the phrase "I LOVE IT SO MUCH I WANT IT TO DIE" and i thing this is what this song deals with. the man in love with Stella is not evil, just unbalanced by his love for someone he cannot attain. "she knows there's people watching her" tells us that she is aware of her beauty and indicates the singer is out of her leauge so to speak. "She cant come out tonight, cause the sea was so airtight", "bottom of the ocean she dwells" point towards him drowning her. THE SONGS CLIMAX - IT'S MEANING She went down down down there into the sea, Yeah she went down down down there, down there for me, right on So good, oh yeah, right on For me this is the man recollecting the way her dead body sank to the ocean floor, and how he was satisfied and found peace. I know this is a morbid interpretation but i believe with aman as complex as Paul Banks and band as 'Dark' as interpol it is feasible that the characters in these song's are not all innocent lovers, save that for pop music. Interpols lyrics if they can teach us anything (they are, let's be honest fairly ambiguous) teach us that love is not for a select group of society, and perhaps the things we do for love are not always wholsome or traditonally good, such is it's nature. Shakespeare described his tragic hero Othello as "One that lov'd not wisely but too well." Othello loved his wife so much that he was blinded by it and killed her in vain. Interpols hero in this song however doe's not regret his killing, perhaps it is his way of showing love. who knows. hehe. peace drama and skateboarding!! o(-<]: |

Lyrically one of my favourite songs for it's honesty and clarity. It reminds me of the way in my mind I rehearse what i will say to the those I love, but when we come face to face any articulted expression is overpowered by emotion, leading to me blurting out my stream of conciousness i.e "it should be me!!!" "Oh, how I love you In the evenings, when we are sleeping We are sleeping. Oh, we are sleeping " If you have ever loved someone so much that you enjoy watching them just 'live' then you may relate to this in the same way as I do. For me this segment describes how tragic it is that the girl being sung to doe's not feel the same way. The singer has to repeat over and over that he loves her even when they are sleeping, whether he means in a literal sense (watching her sleep) or that he dreams of her. This make's it bleaker that she actually loves another, as we know that he truly loves, not lusts, for her perhaps more than she may know. Either way I think anyone who has found tragedy in love will find beauty in this song. Peace, love, drama and skateboarding :-) |
