Paul Kelly – Everything's Turning To White Lyrics 19 years ago
"...behind my eyes, my daily disguise, everything's turning to white"

to me, white doesn't bring thoughts of bad things. Yet, given the context of the song, perhaps "white" is boring, or something like that. Perhaps the color white has different meaning in other (non-north american) cultures???

The song is clever as shit.

The Unicorns – Inoculate the Innocuous Lyrics 20 years ago
love this song

the part where he repeats "flavourful, beautiful" is sweet! Get whatever you want from that, its awesome! Same as the rest of the song.

I think the song was written with media influence and the whole anti-terrorism thing in mind. "innoculate the innocuous" = "protect ourselves from the harmless."

"small doses daily" - news coverage, daily paper, etc
"muscle that relaxes when you cry" - emotional tatics used to influence ppl, inhibiting rational thought (hmmm, "asshole of my eye"=brain?)

the rest makes some cool sense too. the origional song didn't have that "flavourful, beautiful" part... maybe it was added just cuz it just sounds cool.... i think the song shifts to the idea that its so easy to influence our beliefs about the world, bc we don't really think about it anyway. too busy eating our bananas and watermelon. mmmm, watermelon.
