| Kevin Drew – Bodhi Sappy Weekend Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
The Buddha became enlightened under the Bodhi tree.
The song is, I think, about accepting the futility of life and the inevitability of death, and loving in spite of it. 'Please don't scratch me out' is a plea not to God (or any other omnipresent or supernatural force) but, merely, to his lover. |

| Interpol – Mammoth Lyrics

|
"There are seven ancient pawn shops along the road
and the seven aching daddies you may want to know"
Anyone else think this a reference to NYC's "I had seven faces, never knew which one to wear..."? |

| The National – Slow Show Lyrics

|
You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
There just seems so much ache and half joy in this line I can't even catch my breath. I imagine him naked on the edge of his bed cock flailing writing this on the back of a cigarette pack. |

I think it's about songwriters that sing about trite bullshit that means absolutely nothing, and Malkmus telling them to change their ways. |
