| Ra Ra Riot – Ghost Under Rocks Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I think this song has to do with someone who lost their spouse. For the line "ghosts under rocks" I take rocks to mean tombstones. For me it conjures up the image of someone clinging to a "ghost under a rock", or lost loved one. I love the line about "soaking wet dreams". I take this to be a double entendre to include the sexual definition of wet dreams. I like them described as "soaking". These lines to me conjure up the vision of someone who who loved their spouse and then lost them. Now their dreams of that person have gone dry and all they have to remember that person by are the babies they had together, asking them "why why why?" in grief. |

I like description of his trip, you can pretty much follow him by the map... "Over the bridge, that dirty water"...this is prob the Harvard Bridge aka Mass Ave. The trip probably starts in Boston (the song Toxic Toast mentions some of the MMBT lived on Queensbury in the fens). "College Campus, mighty minds"...prob. refers to MIT "A reactor right behind"...theres a nuclear reactor lab at MIT on Albany St. "Past the candy factory"...I think this might be Necco. According to their wiki they had a historic bldg in Cambridge that was taken over by Novartis, which is omnipresent in Central Sq. "Salvation Army, Fire station"...Both are around Mass ave and Main "Through the Square, i hate that place"...Probably referring to Central Sq, not Harvard. Central is kinda dirty, lotsa bums b/c of the nearby methadone clinics. "Up the stairs!"...there's a post office right past central if you're going north. Corner of Inman and Mass ave. |

| They Might Be Giants – She's Actual Size Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I think this one is obvious... its about a girl who the singer, and other guys ("big men.."), have built up in their minds. The singer is reminding himself/the audience that she is just a person. |
