| The Decemberists – Sons and Daughters Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
It's my opinion, and I may be wrong, is that it is a sort of sequel to The Island: Come and See/The Landlord's Daughter/You'll Not Feel The Drowning. The Island (I don't feel like typing all that over and over again), is first about the discovery of a new territory, then about a new society being built there (with all the attendant problems, then about the horrific end of that society. Sons & Daughters, on the other hand, is about the discovery of a new place, and the optimistic feeling of safety that comes with that. Where the people in The Island just wanted the land for expansion, the people in Sons & Daughters need it for safety. I also think it's the same Island. Maybe I'm reading too much into this. I think it should be "Here all the bombs fade away", as the song is about a place, not a sound. |

| Bright Eyes – I've Been Eating (For You) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think a lot of people here aren't really seeing through this song. It's not meant to be taken literally, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find a line of this song that's not a metaphor. (except the And it isn't exeptional part) It's not really about an eating disorder, I totally agree with the people who say it represents his will to live. |

| Bright Eyes – Let's Not Shit Ourselves (To Love and to Be Loved) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I don't really think that the whole Lifted album (and Let's Not Shit Ourselves especially) is actually about being lifted by outside influences, I think it's about clawing yourself up until your fingers are bloody. He mentions being lifted a lot, but the whole album also shows this great distrust for authority and power. Also, mopontop, If I lived in Chicago I would do that very thing. It would probably get you thrown out. |
