| Elliott Smith – Alameda Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I don't think the song is as specific as a lot of you are making it out to be, but I agree with your themes. I think the song is about someone who is unable to allow himself to be dependent on others for fear that they will leave him in one way or another. | |
| Elliott Smith – Tomorrow Tomorrow Lyrics | 19 years ago |

"I got static in my head, the reflected sound of everything/Tried to go to where it lead but it didn't lead to anything." I always took this as he was unable to make sense of his surroundings and happenings; he was unable to put the pieces to life's puzzle together and make sense of it all, so he's just left with static; white noise; he couldn't make any connections or see any harmonies. I think when he says it's "coming out" and "if it's not out now I know it's just about to drown tomorrow out" he's saying that he knows if he doesn't start to put the pieces together, he's going to get lost in the frustration and not be able to take advantage of his future. |

i wrote some lyrics to this song... i'll have to record it one of these days. i don't know if they do elliott justice, but i've dealt with a lot of the stuff that he apparantly did as well. figured i'd share with you guys... why not a few shots, two thirds a bottle of whiskey whatever it takes to pretend that you'll kiss me again been deluding myself thinking somebody else is gonna come rescue me i don't know anyone like you; i never will but you only kept me crying; i never could tell you how much that i loved you and always will you'll never know what it's like to say to myself "i'll see you in heaven" i'll see you again somewhere else, where you're like everyone else and i'm still stuck in my skin hanging out in my own little bunker trying to get just a little bit drunker tonight taking in more and more till i feel the floor come and rescue me quiet night, sleeping just to dream but know all too soon i'll be back there again stuck alone in their land, but they don't know where i am so they can't come rescue me |
