| They Might Be Giants – Ondine Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The meaning of this song is incredibly obvious.. It's about my ex-girlfriend. The only thing "They" got wrong was the pickup truck.. she ran over me with a 1970's model Chevrolet Monte Carlo. |

| They Might Be Giants – Hot Cha Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think this is a referrence to Deism and X-tianity. Hot Cha is G-d and the "Second Time" is Jeebus. The clencher is "If that honey would come back.. drink and cook the prodigal son" almost a direct referrence to the bible. A quick FYI.. I'm not saying the Johns are X-tians. Deism is the belief that a g-d may have created the world, but left us to our own devices afterward. |

| They Might Be Giants – Destination Moon Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The missing lyrics are "Emancipation Interplanetary Exploration" meaning leaving my body to explore space. The last chorus pretty well seals the meaning.. he is dying and there is nothing he can do about it. He says "there's nothing wrong with me" but everyone else thinks it's horrible that he is dying, he know he is just preparing for his next journey. I've told my wife and best friends that I want this song played at my funeral. :) It's really uplifting in the same way that most TMBG songs are. They sound upbeat, but have (usually) a sad message, but if you stare long enough into the subliminal you can find the happy again. :) |
