thanks xerxes53, I mostly look to these sights hoping to unveil some esoteric meaning in the song. I found exactly what I was curious about, my name is Venessa and my love interest is quite the gemini with two faces, this song is perfect for us. Little Venn makes that apparent, and gives more meaning to me when at first I didn't like the beginning too much it reminds me of a basketball game but then it makes a hasty shift |

| Elliott Smith – Speed Trials Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| the wording in this song is amazing the very first verse. I couldn't quite figure it out until hiphopperka's brilliant interpretation of it. Yes, this song is definately a non-fictional song about his addiction. Yes, elliot smith was intelligent lazyteen69, but come on! I'm sure he considered himself a junkie at one point, it's when you're addicted to shooting up. period. Being a genius doesn't mean you're gauranteed self control. | |

Ok, I just read the clementine lyrics and that ballad is fucking eerie. "Drove she ducklings to the water Fell into the foaming brine. Ruby lips above the water, Blowing bubbles soft and fine." He couldn't swim and so he watched her drown thus commiting suicide. I think elliot was creating a made up tune spliced with his descriptive memories about a setting. he did borrow the traditional folk tune's chorus and thought the addition of the resemblence would do the song good, as it did. the song seems to be a common yet made up scenerio. A relationship went arrye and so that persons found themselves waking up from passing out at a bar questioning and pondering their relationship."Though you're still her man, it seems a long time ago" that, indicating lack of communication etc..Perhaps replaying the chorus "dreadful sorry" in their mind right after hearing the bartender humming it.. being one of the two sounds heard right upon awakening. |

| i was just thinking as soon as i had looked up the lyrics and read what he had really said. the streets wet, you can tell by the cars. I thought the exact same thing indie pretense about the imagery that one line creates, he chose such a distinct sound do describe. "clementine" is really angelic his whispers are in identical tune and equal balance in the audio.every part of it is perfect. You can fall in love with elliot smith through this song. I was really curious about the correct quaralation with the old traditional folk clementine or if there is even one? | |
