Elliott Smith – Pitseleh Lyrics 21 years ago
It's interesting that some people view this as an optimistic song. I personally think it's a song as a suicide note. It seems to be about a bad relationship and total despair following the breakup. I think he's had suicidal tendencies for a while but hadn't told Pitseleh.

Elliott Smith – Amanda Cecilia Lyrics 21 years ago
He sings this song on the Jackpot Studio Sessions recordings. He has a large number of unrelased songs. Many of his best, I think, were unreleased.

Elliott Smith – Speed Trials Lyrics 21 years ago

Yesterday, a friend of mine asked what I interepret those lyrics to mean. So I thought about it, and wrote:

i interpret the lyrics to that song as about a girl who has problems, and that particular quote about her putting a smile on her face but fighting it off. i like the idea of a brief smile as a light in the darkness- that through her problems, there's a glimmer of hope that shines through

Any thoughts on this? What do they mean to you?
