Tarkio – If I Had More Time Lyrics 19 years ago
I think it's "And I'd be onto you" because it would make sense more than "To not be onto you" because before that line he always talks about comprehending the other person...yeah

Jens Lekman – The Cold Swedish Winter Lyrics 19 years ago
Jens Lekman writes really great lyrics, but every so often he'll do something ridiculous like attempt to "rhyme" 'chili' with 'chilly' but it's endearing in a way...

Anyway, my favorite part of the song is "In two thousand years...." to the end of the song.

Neutral Milk Hotel – Someone Is Waiting Lyrics 20 years ago
"And I love you and I want to
Shoot all the super heroes from your skies
Watch them bleeding from your ceiling
As their empty anger falls out from their eyes"

Super heroes = people who are "better" or "more important" or that the person he loves always goes to, and are everything to the person he loves

Sufjan Stevens – John Wayne Gacy, Jr. Lyrics 20 years ago
This song is absolutely amazing, my favorite parts are when he sings higher...like at the "Oh my God" part and "on the mouth"

this song has an indescribeable feeling to it, it's so amazing...probably the best on the album..but it's hard for me to decide yet, since i'm in love with the entire album currently...it takes me about 3 weeks to decide which are my "favorites"

The Beatles – Within You Without You Lyrics 21 years ago
""When you’ve seen beyond yourself -
Then you may find peace of mind, is waiting there -
And the time will come when you see we’re all one,
And life flows on within you and without you."

perfect metaphor for an LSD/shroom trip. "

Not everything is about drugs. It pisses me off how people always relate everything to drugs, sure this album has a lot to do with drugs, but i find that verse to be totally spiritual, actually i think this whole song is. it's just an enlightening song, and it's brilliant. it's one of my 2 all time favorite songs. my other favorite song is Occapella by Van Dyke Parks

J Mascis and the Fog – Same Day Lyrics 21 years ago
It kind of sounds like he figures out he loves the person (I woke up suddenly you're the one I love) after they had already moved on, or they just don't feel the same way..(It's sad, it's sad to know your colder)



i don't really know...

I love the line

"Lock the door and hit the floor groan that was my life
Now look at everything it's beautiful that's my life"


This song is awesome, and so catchy.

I just noticed I said pretty much what "in red weather" said...sorry about that, i should read what other people have attributed before i say something.

Silverchair – Petrol & Chlorine Lyrics 21 years ago
I think it's about suicide

the

"had the perfect job called life
you didn't like it you resigned"

makes it sound like suicide. the person resigned from life, and perhaps chemicals were involved. or maybe the person didnt kill themselves, maybe they just messed up their life with chemicals, like drugs and stuff....

and perhaps the lead singer, daniel, can't stand to see a picture in which the person who "resigned" is in, so takes it down, and is just feeling really low and depressed.

The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1 Lyrics 21 years ago
Cassia, what you said actually makes so much sense, that yeah...wow. Nice. I wonder if what it means is on their website? It'd be interesting to know, because what you said really seems to hit it right on what the meaning could be.

Mineral – Unfinished Lyrics 21 years ago
Perhaps the song is called 'unfinished' because it doesnt ever say what the two become, it leaves you hanging...at least thats what I thought the first time I listened to it.

And maybe he has an unfinished feeling involving the person this is about, perhaps because she doesnt know how much he loves her.

Mineral – July Lyrics 21 years ago
This is one of my all time favorite songs. Everything about this song expresses so much feeling and emotion. The words, his voice, the cresendos and decresendos. everything. wonderful.

I've felt the same way expressed in the song a few times...and I love listening to it. It's so straight forward, but yet kind of complex and more than surface deep at the same time...so awesome. He has a wonderful talent of expressing himself wonderfully through words, without having to use many. Which is what makes it so direct, and radical in my opinion.

The Gloria Record – A Bye Lyrics 21 years ago
This song almost makes me cry, out of happiness for how beautiful it is, and sadness for how it kind of has a lonely undertone to it...

"Where all my hopes and fears look childish in the light"

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Mineral – Waking to Winter Lyrics 21 years ago
I'm thinking it's about the monotonous, depressing feeling of winter time months, and a few times throughout the album this song is on, there is religious references and things and talk about god, jesus, etc..so maybe the "I'm reminded of your love, unlike these things will never change, or fade or pass away"

But personally, i'd like to interpret it as someone in a relationship, like what sean7711 said.

Q And Not U – When the Lines Go Down Lyrics 21 years ago
Yeah, this song is just about how addicted people are to cell phones, computers....just technology in general. and feel its a part of them, and cannot separate themselves from it.

and maybe the

"We can stay in touch this way so we can stay and touch."

Is about 2 people staying in touch by technological means, who are apart for some time...so when they are back together it seems like it's ok to "stay and touch" as in sexual things.

I don't know though.

Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution – They Provide The Paint... Lyrics 21 years ago
"Don’t die for anything less than the best of,
everyone settles for the rest not the best of,
I will die for no less than the best of life."

My favorite lyrics, and perhaps my motto of life.

This song is such a great song. SlapsterMcFlash explained it perfectly.

BOTAR is so awesome. Their instrumentals are rad, the lyrics are awesome, the messages in their lyrics are wonderful.

submissions
Elliott Smith – Pitseleh Lyrics 21 years ago
my favorite lines of this song are

"i'm not what's missing from your life now
i could never be the puzzle pieces"

That just shows so much despair, and perhaps before, a person he loved was longing for him, and felt the same, and felt he could make her life complete and be the "puzzle pieces" but then that person met someone else, and replaced him. and he says he could never be the puzzle pieces because he thinks he is inferior to that person.

"they say that god makes problems
just to see what you can stand
before you do as the devil pleases
and give up the thing you love"

thats self explanitory and so beautiful.


"but no one deserves it"

that part is very emotional, that one little line, it shows so much empathy.
