LCD Soundsystem – Drunk Girls Lyrics 15 years ago
It's definitely "Drunk girls know that love is an astronaut. It comes back, but it's never the same."

Love is an asterisk is also a great line, but you'll have to be the one to write that song...

Elliott Smith – The White Lady Loves You More Lyrics 19 years ago
A simple Google search shows "the white lady" as a name for cocaine, heroin, and even meth. Seems there is some ambiguity there, and perhaps you are both right. It's just a colloquial term anyway, and it surely varies among regions.

Elliott Smith – Condor Ave. Lyrics 19 years ago
I'm pretty sure the line you all love is being misheard. It is:

they NEVER get uptight when a moth gets crushed
unless a light bulb really loved him very much

Positive backing can help cheer you up, regardless of bipolar disorder.

Furthermore, he talks about his inner cosmology, seemingly an allusion to chemical imbalance or bipolar disorder. I don't see how bipolarism is "simpler" than a drug addiction. With drugs, at least you can often eventually kick the habit. You're stuck with your own mind for life.

I feel like this is more about chemical imbalance than drugs, as he refers to the problem as mood shifts.

The Mars Volta – Day Of The Baphomets Lyrics 19 years ago
I think that if you're offended by the lyrics, it's best to not listen. There are 10,000 religions out there, and some people have an ethical problem with believing that only ONE of them can be right. That attitude causes a lot of hate and problems.

Elliott Smith – True Love Lyrics 19 years ago
now i'm the king of the ward
cause i'm good and i swallow my sword

I love that.

I also like the sudden transition from seemingly talking about the woman to seemingly talking about drugs, where he says that he had to go rehab. As if he's implying that his addiction was worsened by his loss.

Elliott Smith – True Love Lyrics 19 years ago
In the live version, it sounds like "safe place to plead." But you're probably right.

The lyrics are bad because they are about those things?

I think they're great.

Haha. I do notice a sound, but I wouldn't automatically attribute them to text messaging.

x9 is right. The lyrics point directly to a contempt towards religion.

Elliott Smith – No Name #2 Lyrics 19 years ago
I don't think it's pregnancy. I think she is just breaking up with him. He pretends not to care, but obviously that is not the case.

Iron & Wine – Sodom, South Georgia Lyrics 21 years ago
"Papa died while my
Girl Lady Edith was born
Both heads fell like
Eyes on a crack in the door"

That is such a powerful metaphor.

Incredibly beautiful song, by the way.

Iron & Wine – Jezebel Lyrics 21 years ago
The lyrics are still wrong. It isn't "holy," but rather, "wholly."

And it seems like the dog line is a direct reference to how she was killed, but I'm not too familiar with the story.
