Sufjan Stevens – The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! Lyrics 19 years ago
this is my favorite sufjan stevens' song

"Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers"

this shows the listeners that it is, in fact, a girl
any other reference to the narrator being a girl would be quite redundant, dontcha think?

the "best friend" mentioned in the story would have to had an intimate relationship with the narrator because:

"Into the car, from the backseat
Oh, admiration in falling asleep"

the backseat is often the ideal place of 'doing the dirty'
but it could also refer to them as passengers but i highly doubt that because it would be quite insignificant

the wasp is probably the best metaphorical symbol to use because the narrator has encountered the wasp in many of her most cherished moments with her best friend but when he leaves, she is stung by something that was held in high regard as symbolically beautiful

The Spinto Band – Directly To Helmet Lyrics 19 years ago
this song is actually called "direct to helmet"

Above all, worksongs??
i think it would be "work sucks" but he cuts off at the end of the word so it's pretty hard to tell

The Decemberists – From My Own True Love (Lost at Sea) Lyrics 19 years ago
Maybe people assume it's a woman because they are reminded of "The Carpenters - Please Mr. Postman."

Well, atleast that's what I was reminded of.

Elliott Smith – Needle in the Hay Lyrics 20 years ago
"you say you know what he did
but you idiot kid
you don't have a clue"

sometimes the simplest lyrics are the most catchy..

as for this song, i agree that it is about heroin.

if my assumption is correct, than this song is even more brilliant noting that the title of the song is "needle in the hay" and "needle" is mentioned so many times but somehow (based on some of the comments posted here) he keeps the true meaning of the song masked.

Bright Eyes – Theme from Pinata Lyrics 20 years ago
I love Bright Eyes but this song just doesn't cut it. The usually sublime lyrics are wonderful but what the hell was he thinking writing this..

well i wish i had a parachute
cause i'm falling bad for you

i feel like the pinata
won't you take a swing at me

It seems like a bunch of cheap, cheesy lines you would use to flirt with your teenage lover..

Also, the first two verses of this song consists of those cheesy likes that I despise.

The only lines I like in this song are;

winter came to omaha
and left us looking like a bride
a million perfect snowflakes now
and no two are alike

but now that's just personal opinion

:)
