| Spoon – I Summon You Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I'm convinced the song is actually about a long-distance relationship at least intentionally based on the comments above. As a more general broad interpretation, it is simply about disillusionment. Such as the the disillusionment of a long distance relationship. But to me, I PERSONALLY connect with this song's disillusionment about growing up and going from a simple world to a complicated one as a young adult starting a career (as I'm doing), which includes real relationships, jobs, moving out, etc. Remember the weight of the world It's a sound that we used to buy On cassette and 45 And now this little girl She says will we make it all Just to think that as a kid, I WANTED to be an adult and would have "bought" the weight of the world. Listened to songs about more adult subjects, wanting to have girlfriends, a job, money, etc. 800 miles is a drive I guess I now drive a lot for jobs etc. (I know it's more personal). You you got the weight of the world coming down like a mother's eye And all that you can All that you can give is a cold goodbye Just the idea that living on your own, you are not living with your parents/family. You're never actually at home anymore, only giving them "cold goodbyes" for months on end. That and I do not feel like I at least call parents for personal reasons, but more for financial help, etc, ending in "cold goodbyes." The law enforcement's impressed you've survived to this age Strapped-up soldiers They'll lock you in a cage without goodbye For a nickel bribe Just a little blurb about how cold the world can be. Growing up, you learn if you technically break a rule and even one innocent little mistake, people (police, courts, banks, schools, etc.) will get on you. Kinda "it's a cold world" sort of thing. But oh no where are you tonight? And how'd we get here? It's too late to break it off "How'd I grow up so fast" sort of thing and end up in the position as the person I am. I need a release The signal's a cough But that don't get me off I summon you to appear, my love This is where my interpretation fails to an extent. I feel as I've grown, I have had fewer close friends and feel more lonely. And relationships are much less fun and free (as in expensive too!). Even more or less, relationships of convenience. I feel like it just expresses loneliness and wanting a real love to help with the loneliness. Then repeat. Take my interpretation for what's it worth. It's more personal, but I feel it matches somewhat. |

| of Montreal – Cato as a Pun Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Wow, this was early post. I haven't been able to hear the song until three days ago. It is my favorite song thus far on the new album. I think it is about a girl, calling her the great orator Cato, and talking like she is confusing him as Cato could, of course i could be completely wrong. | |

| What about the line "I still believed in war"? That still makes no sense to me. | |
