| Tarkio – Devil's Elbow Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Yep, Oregon coastline. I'd like to go someday! This is one of the best Tarkio songs, and its damn good acoustic, too. | |

I think that one line is "Still I waste the chance to give as if I've never lived through altruition." :) |

I don't understand why this song is such a rare b-side, and is never played live. Absolutely one of my favorite I&W songs. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Brothers on a Hotel Bed Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
A lot of people seem to be way off mark on this one. It really seems like it's about an old man realizing he is no longer young, despite feeling young. Perhaps even a metaphor for Alzheimer's? |

This song is awesome. Probably one of the most effective chorus' I've ever heard. |

| The Shins – My Seventh Rib Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
This seems to me like the Shins' most overtly political song. And yet, it seems almost... anti-political. Allow me to explain... The opening line "Your silver tongue laughs at the clowns of our age" seems to refer to an above-the-influence sort of fiction deity that sees through the propaganda of modern politics (the baised politicians being the "clowns"). These are the same "devils" spoken of later in the song. The youth of today tend to believe whatever they're told, and so have "open shutters," and are taken by any "slide of hand" that is attempted toward them. They "give way to another": The dominoe effect. Oh yes, and one last point... "production line of cheap-shots on both sides" obviously refers to the political animosity and slander coming from political parties. Basically... every line in this song has a not-too-subtle reference to today's politics. cybercody2000@hotmail.com |
