Owen – The Armoire Lyrics 13 years ago
I absolutely love the cadence to the music and lyrics during the words "Discarded blood-stained"...

Caedmon's Call – Love Alone Lyrics 18 years ago
I always heard it as "swing your rope down low"...

which I'm not saying is correct... but I got meaning from that...

Mike Downey – Seizure To A Strobe Lyrics 18 years ago
another gem.... I guess I could rave about this album on and on...

its perfect to listen to while I run... but its also perfect for listening to me while my eyes are closed and the world is still and quiet....

Mike Downey – Flame Out Flyboy Lyrics 18 years ago
This is one of my all time favorite songs...

I especially like the first verse... really reminds me of times that I've been walking around lost in my head... and then I drink coffee... and something happens to catch me off guard... and then I'm spinning round and round thinking about how it all went wrong... or out of my control...

anyway... great album... great song...

Sufjan Stevens – The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! Lyrics 20 years ago
I think the brother idea is possible...

but I get an impression that there is some sort of romance or something in the relationship...

the narrator refers to sleeping in the car together with the word admiration (which is very mysterious... because there are a lot of interps to this...)

and just the way he sings we were in love over and over makes me think of the type of love that is shared between two lovers and not family members...

that being said... I became very interested in this song because I at first thought it was about two brothers who were more than brothers..

the brother's red hat line is a bit tricky... but I don't think it implies that the friend is his brother...

BrainDamage... this is very likely... I was wondering that myself...
obviously it could be interpreted either way...

and as far as Savanna goes...

It is indeed a city in IL which has a park in it called "Mississippi Pallisades ParK"

Sufjan Stevens – The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! Lyrics 20 years ago
its "best friend is bit seven times" not just "friend"... but that doesn't mean much...

soo..

the narrator is lying in his bed... and I'm guessing he is poor based on how cold it is... but who knows...

He sees a wasp and it reminds him of a person/event from his past...

He was swimming with his best friend (were they lovers? I think so... but its not clear)...

It seems as though some incident occurs with a wasp stinging his friend.... it seems to be a symbol of something bad happening in the relationship... the narrator had only the best intentions...

now the narrator only has memories as the friend (or lover?) is now gone... dead, or run away, or out of his life...



that's what I get anyway...


any insights on sylvanna? or what the Palisades are?
