| Bright Eyes – Shell Games Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Took the fireworks and the vanity, the circuit board and the city streets, shooting star, swaying palm tree, laid it at the arbiter's feet. If I could change my mind, change the paradigm, prepare myself for another life, forgive myself for the times I was cruel to something helpless and weak, but here it come, that heavy love. I'm never going to move it alone. Here it come, that heavy love. Tag it on a Tiananmen Wall. Here it come, that heavy love. Someone got to share in the load. Oh, here it come, that heavy love. I'm never going to move it alone. I was dressed in white, touched by something pure, death obsessed like a teenager. Sold my tortured youth: piss and vinegar. I'm still angry with no reason to be at the architect who imagines for the every man, blessed Sisyphus slipping steadily into madness. Now that's the only place to be free. but here it come, that heavy love. You never going to move in alone. Here it come, that heavy love, tattooed on a criminal's arm. Here it come, that heavy love. Someone got to share in the load. Oh, here it come, that heavy love. You never going to move it alone. No, I don't want to play. It's a shell game. It's a shell game. Distorted sounds on the oscilloscopes, distorted facts, I could never cope. My private life is an inside joke. No one will explain it to me. We'll be everything that we ever need. Everyone on the count of three. Everyone on the count of three! All together now! Here it come, that heavy love. We're never going to move it alone. Here it come, that heavy love, playing as the cylinder rose. Here it come, that heavy love. I only want to share in the load. Here it come, that heavy love. I'm never going to move it alone. |

| Sleigh Bells – Rill Rill Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I am almost positive this is the chorus: "So this is it then? You're here to win, friend Click, click SATELLITE see you on the moon then YOU ARE A REAL FRIEND? Pick up the phone then Ring, ring call them up Tell them 'bout the new trends" |

| Sunset Rubdown – Apollo and the Buffalo and Anna Anna Anna Oh! Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm really glad you posted this & I totally agree with what you're saying, too. Do you think maybe he used Anna O as a metaphor because this married life/settling down he lost her to is like sanity? |
|
| Camera Obscura – Honey in the Sun Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I've decided this is my favorite song on the album. Probably nothing describes how I feel. The lyrics are almost unpoetic. Being obsessively in love with someone far away who is probably never thinking of you back. |

| Azure Ray – Seven Days Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| i think the third stanza & maybe some of he fourth is about therapy | |
| Monsters of Folk – Temazcal Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| these songs still all sound to me like they were throw-aways not good enough to put on their solos albums. | |
| Maria Taylor – A Chance Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| it sounds to me like she had a one night stand while dating someone else, then the person she was dating forgave her, but she didn't want to talk to him, now she changed her mind. | |
| The PAper ChAse – God Is In The House Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is a Nick Cave cover! | |
| Bright Eyes – I Must Belong Somewhere Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Conor: "To me, I want to be a song writer & musician. I want to write my songs and make my records and play for people and I'm happy to give my opinion. I'm certainly happy to write any song I write ,I'll sing it wherever, but I don't want to be an activist full-time or anything. I'm a musician, first & foremost. It's a hard-learned lesson to be content in your own skin, for me anyway to not always just runaway to the next place or the next person or the next experience, but to just actually enjoy the moment your in and be where you are. it's a hard lesson to learn but one worth attempting." I think he's trying to say more it's nice to sometimes just forget the problems of the world, & just be content where you are. |

| Bright Eyes – Cleanse Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The first part is referencing the Roman Emperor, Nero. Here's a Conor quote "That song kind of flows all over the place with different ideas, but the main idea being rebirth and rebuilding and taking a well needed bath, you know? i did a little it of that in the last year & it's great to clear your head, get rid of everything, then you realize normally you can only see like ten feet in front of you because the fog is so dense of all the chemicals in your mind once you clear it all away & you can see forever then you immediately get scared and realize why you take all of those things all the time. it's good to at least visit that once in a while, clarity." |
|
| Bright Eyes – Middleman Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
conor on the subject: "the things about middlemen is they're exceptional because they've convinced everyone that they're necessary, when they're really not, and they blend into the scenery & that's what makes them survive. uh you know, it's like cockroaches, how they'll be the last ones after the nuclear war, you know? it's just like, you gotta blend in at a certain point and there's a desire to rise above the fold and leave your mark & you know, be of use, be of actual substantial use, but you don't last that long, if you try that. it might be better just to slip through the cracks." |

| i thought it was about doing mushrooms immediately. | |
| Conor Oberst – Danny Callahan Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
def the best song on the album. i have trouble listening to it without crying. esp when he says BUT YOU TRY I KNOW YOU DO, YOU STILL TALK TO YOUR PLANTS. "haha yr crazy" at the beginning of the song? |

| Maria Taylor – Song Beneath the Song Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
here's maria is "under the radar:" UTR: It seems that after a few years into every artists’ career they begin to explore and question the creative process itself and what they really mean when they write- is that what you were doing in “Song Beneath The Song?” Maria: That was just describing what somebody said about a certain song. They said it was a love song, but when you strip it down you find a double meaning. UTR: What song are you talking about? Maria: (Laughs). I can’t tell you that one. |

| Bright Eyes – I've Been Eating (For You) Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| that lua reference is 100% about coke. | |
| Le Tigre – Don't Drink Poison Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i thought the chicken ceasar was a more literal reference & it ties into the "There's one thing they love to see. It's tear jerks for charity" like when you're a celebrity you are expected to go to all these charity events held in big hotel ballrooms where they serve you ceasar salad & have you smile for cameras while you toss back a few. | |
| Le Tigre – This Island Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| i think the "liberty" reference is way off. | |

| Gravy Train!!!! – Hump Lites Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| this song is about chunky dressing like an old lady & having sex young boys. | |
| Modest Mouse – Dramamine Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
you take dramamine when you're travelling!! i mean he tours a lot, that requires travel. the meaning of this song seems simple. it sounds like he is traveling, he is with his lady, & they took dramamine to deal with motion sickness. even when you take a the recomended amount ofthe drug you can barely see anything, & are a little delusional. i think it's a pretty straight forward song. |
|
| Placebo – Bulletproof Cupid (Vocal) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| if these were the lyrics, i'm glad they went without them! these are awful! they may have ruined an otherwise good song! | |
| Michael Jackson – You Rock My World Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|

|
| Fiona Apple – Not About Love Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| i think when she said "stupid head" she means her head being stupid. how her thoughts get all confused & don't make sense. | |
| of Montreal – Requiem for O.M.M.2 Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
it\'s \"sinking\", not \"singing\". the meaning of this song is very obvious. it\'s simple, but very meaningful, & i love it. |
