| Pavement – Unfair Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| like Flux=Rad said, its about the divide of the state of California. SM said himself, and it makes sense. just a playfull (and awesome) take on it. With the North being rich and the South not (or the other way around- I dont know- Im from New york). Great though | |
| Pavement – Silence Kid Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Im almost positive its about childhood innocence- silent kid- not "corrupted" yet although his familly is terrible. About the gossip part- I read that- I guess the kid is silent in terms of not noisy, doesn't get in the way of anything. The best kids are normally seen as the silent ones- they dont talk, so they dont say anything bad. Then the person singing the song is doing "adult stuff" in comparison and hopes that the child never looses his innocence | |
| Pavement – Raft Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The most obvious love song by Pavement- really underrated. I can't believe no one has commented. This should have been on an actuall album allong with Camera or something- atleast its on the extended part of Crooked, but its too good for that. I love how its so energetic with such a slow tempo (for the song type). It's obviously a love song though- the raft reffering how he's hopelessly in love with someone, every day more so- like on a raft- you keep going, "can't go back". However, the girl doesn't like him but he still likes her. The ending is saying how the rest of the town seems so plain/ boring (in comparison?) I think. Amazing | |
| Pavement – Here Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Pavement and the Pixies are very different- just a few steps away from comparing Wilco to Metallica. Both bands have great albums- it just depends on preference. For me, I get a quick rush from Doolittle, but I find myself coming back to crooked rain (I dont have Surfa Rosa yet- just doolittle and Wave of Mutilation.) | |
| Pavement – Elevate Me Later Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I've thought through this song several times- simply because I like it so much. I know SM kind of saise otherwhise, but its fits the bill perfectly for sending the message, "Don't look up to the lives of others much because they have their own problems as well" and to accept your life. I'm prett sure its not Ta but Tough, which I'm pretty sure he saise in Ell es two and makes a lot more sense- "Why are you complaining? Tough!" Well your greed for tokens and stamps Underneath the fake oil burning lamps In the city we forgot to name The concourse' is a four wheel shame And the courthouse is double breast I'd like to check out your public (bodily) protest So why you complaining? ta! I think this talks from the perspective/ to the perspective of someone who doesn't have a lot of money- fake lamps, city area that's not too important. And complaining about it. Those who sleep with electric guitars Range roving with the cinema stars And I wouldn't want to shake their hand Cause they're in such a high protein land Because there's forty different shades of black So many fortresses and ways to attack So why you complaining? ta! That part is about being a star, which most people wish they could be. Its saying that they have tough times as well and it isn't all that great. They have many good but many bads as well (so many fortresses and ways to attack" or something along those lines. 40 shades of black refers to how everyone has difficulties in different ways. Political correctness may actually fit into this somehow- I think SM was kindof upset of how many people wished they could be big bands and thought the stars led amazing lives- kindof telling everyone to stop complaining because where he is it isn't much better. |
