| Ugly Casanova – Barnacles Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
First of all, Ugly Cassanova is one of my favorite bands ever. "I don't know me and/you don't know you,/so we fit so good together cuz/I knew you like I knew myself./We clunb on like barnacles on a boat./Even though the ship sinks you know you can't let go." That part of the song touches me pretty deeply. I had a summer love, a girl who was totally emo/indie and basically my polar opposite, and the little time i spent with her was probably the happiest moments in my recent life. She taught me so much about other people and about myself, even though I believe she was somewhat lost and confused herself. I didn't know myself completely before I met her. When we went away to college, we tried to cling together over the long distance, but we both knew it was an impossible relationship. The ship eventually sunk, and we both knew it was coming but couldn't let go or talk about it until the breakup was upon us. I haven't seen her since her greyhound pulled away, and I miss her. how tragic btw she was the one who introduced me to this band, as well as most of my other favorite bands. Except for Neutral Milk Hotel, my top favorite ever, which I turned her on to. |

| I'm not sure about the "right a change" in the third line, that was sort of phonetic. | |
| Neutral Milk Hotel – Glue (The Gerbils cover) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
stanza 1: she doesn't come into his room, obviously because it's locked. this is an artistic way of saying he's thinking about his lover. stanza 2: sings to him? perhaps this is her leaving him, if not verbally breaking up with him, then perhaps drifting away. he doesn't want to hear it, but he knows it's true and he's nostalgic. stanza 3: perhaps his smiling inside points back to the fact that he knows she'll never find another home. stanza 4: she calls him back, but he knows she's lying... maybe she's saying it because she's on an acid trip? who knows what was going on in the writer's head. chorus: this pins the feelings of a heartbroken man pretty well, i think. I was thinking that maybe the "smells like glue" could be either literal, e.g. the character in the song is sniffing glue. or perhaps, "smells like glue" means that he senses that her ove, and his urge for her, will be sticking to him for a long time, and won't be easy to shake. i don't like defining a song because songs mean different things to different people. this one moves me sooo much, though, so i thought i'd throw my thoughts out there to get some conversation going about it. i encourage you to disagree with me. also, if you don't have the NMH cover of this song, go to elephant six's website (google search) and it's under mp3's, NMH. |
