| Nine Inch Nails – Vessel Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"Now, I've heard of drugs that can sometimes make you think that you're fucking invincible, so is that what this is about? I.E. Parepin making everyone think everything is absolutely fine?" In the ARG, Parepin is somehow debated to be the cause of The Presence sightings, and is the discussion of a fictional paper that attempts to explain The Presence phenomenon. Perhaps the last two verses are written as if through the eyes of someone going through one of those sightings (which has different effects for different people, but always resulting in immense awe). Quite literally, they experience divine intervention. |

| Röyksopp – Poor Leno Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
The Leno isn't actually rescued (or reunited) with it's friend in the end - the events told in the video are flashbacks of how the darker-skinned Leno was taken away from the other lighter-skinned one. So the video ends on a sad note. Röyksopp are Nordic, I think. I think the song is basically about this great determination to find a loved one. The sound of lapping water at the start and end of the song, the cowbells echoing off into the distance, and the general fast pace of the tune are testament to that, even if the lyrics are sparse. If you have the time, try and find the Silicon Soul Remix of this song, in particular the one where Erlend Øye (the vocalist on Remind Me and Poor Leno) sings The Smith's "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" over it. The song can be found as a bonus track on Erlend's DJ Kicks album. Great stuff. |
